Translation

a1... insatiable to look at through the signs... You are trusting because of friendship and the great good thing (?).
a1+Without fading, I honor (you)...
a2+You have obtained... then... the good, without reproach... of the letting go of body and mind.
a3+I honor you, who has reached... the monk who has grown in a blissful way without blemish.
a4+Nirvāṇa... having received the whole fruit of a three asaṃkhyeya long effort... all evil...
b1+I honor you, who acknowledges... my... monk... certainly... the three pure...
b2+Thus, abstaining in this way from coitus, four truths of perception... impurity...
b3+I honor you, who has reached pure meditation, observance (and) the three kinds of knowledge... the Brahma-god of buddhahood.
b4Without disappearing, your pure capability is always the most noble of the noble things.
