|---|---|
| a7 | ... rose up from his seat like... Like the moon a cloud, he exited his monastic cell. Like the son from mount Udaya, gold colored... |
| a8 | ... like... the whole assembly became glad. Then Buddha the teacher, having come into the assembly, sitting on a seat, ... Śāriputra... |
| b1 | ... Śāriputra, with hands in añjali-position, says: In the klumpäri*-tune: Buddha the teacher went into the monastic cell. One monk, meditating... |

| b2+ | Then Buddha the teacher... the (distinction?) of endless great knowledge of the honorable Maitreya... |
