a1	they evoked the meditations ..., they made disappear all the passions of the world of desire and of the world of form;
a1+	[and] also according to the right rule they went away to the city of cessation and of Nirvāṇa. – Besides these ones [also did the following]:
a2	\|\| in [the metre] (...) \|\| "The Bodhisattvas [have] an unquenchable (abilit)y concerning virtues, [they have] hidden the [beings of the] five births in the vast hole of compassion.
a2+	Thereupon, they sti(mulate) the thought towards (all nob)le undertakings.
a3	From where would, in large scale, the prosperity for all beings come from?" 1
a3+	Thereupon, some of this kind having lived a long time, understood the constellations [and] the [astrological] moments;
a4	they established the Śāstras, beginning with the science of the year, grammar, [and] horoscope;
a5	some of this kind established the Vedas. The gods equipped with a great power gave them approbation. Thereupon, these came to (reside) in an house as [their] refuge:
a6	they returned again to their village, they constructed houses [and] enclosures. Right there they observed [pious] observation,
a6+	they recited the canonical Śāstras. \|\|
b1	This race following the Kṣatriyas was called the Brahmanic [race]. – Besides, also: \|\| in [the metre] A. \|\| “Those that were at first ca(lled) thus [i.e. Brahmins], of this kind is the Brahmanic state [i.e. they define the Brahmanic state]. They intermingled with the society of householders.
b2	From the efforts of those surely emerges [lit. adheres] the knowledge: (together with a)rt there were (the thinking) [and] (the reflec)tion.” 1 \|\|
b2+	Now these rules were proclaimed under the king Mahāsaṃmata:
b3	[There are] Kṣatriyas, Brahmins, [and] Vaiśyas. – But this in which way? \|\| in [the metre] Y. \|\|
b3+	"Without number, greatly, here the bein(gs turn)ed towards a life of tranquillity.
b4	The gods from on high descended to earth into the company of men, in order to achieve well-being, the establishment of (all) virtues, ... (prosperi)ty.
b5	These ones [= the gods] had not heard the ultimate name, namely death." 1
b5+	Meanwhile, the god king [Indra] established himself on the throne,
b6	he sent the first queen [being an] ornament to the king Mahāsaṃmata as [token of] remembrance; together he [Indra] made friendship with him. There(upon) ...

a5+	Zum zweiten Mal kamen sie in das Dorf zurück, bildeten [sich] Behausungen [und] ... [und] übten ebendort Sittlichkeit. (Schmidt 1974: 405, 440)
