| a5 | You invited Praṇāda to the city; you built ninety stūpas. |
| a6 | During [the age of] Kṣemaṅkara, you established a one-league large stūpa. |
| a7 | A Brahmin saw Śrīsambhava; on the way he gave him a resting place. |
| a8 | You were a Rṣi; to Kauṇḍinya you gave a footstool and fruits. |
| a9 | On Dipaṅkara you threw seven lotus [flowers]; you were a Brahmin boy [then]. |
| a10 | You were a Rṣi; you went out towards the Buddha Sudarśana. |
| a11 | Again you were a Rṣi; to Sunetra you did homage in the forest. |
| a12 | ... (with) a parasol (you did) homage to Dhṛtarāṣṭra ... |
