Translation

a1May the virtues of the all knowing one always touch my heart.
a2... seed... Through praising you, god, Nirvāna is attainable as fruit.
a2+... good well... I sow the seed day and night.
a3+May my harvest always be aśle (= bountiful?).
a4... without precedent my tongue has been obtained (?) ...
a4+With excellent glory...
a5By saying... you will make a consecration of glory. Through ablution...
b2May your glory scatter (the cataract of my ignorance), step by step.
b2+In the shadow of your glory, I, too, ...
b3... having become altogether one heap, collection of glory, power of glory.
b4... may I always be uniformly persisting in the command.
b4+The glory...
b5Altogether, it is through glory that I praised you, god.
