Translation

a1... from good zeal and self control, this is the pleasure of the Bodhisattvas.
a1+... [2] Through the fruit of zeal in the three asaṃkhyeya-aeons ...
a2... directed towards death. The Bodhisattvas have five powers.
a2+The power of faith, that in all births... to the virtuous
a3... his mind is... at someone else... The power of force, that in all births he is venerated by the virtuous.
a3+... good behavior... he has...
a4The power of force, that in all births he is tireless for the good of someone (else).
a4+The power of renunciation, that...
a5... in (all) births, Nirvāṇa is dear to him. There are six excellent sarriwenta-parousias (?) of the Bodhisattvas.
a5+The sarriwenta-parousia that is meeting the time of the Buddha...
b1The sarriwenta-parousia of the Bodhisattvas that is being reborn.
b2The sarriwenta-parousia of the Bodhisattvas that consists in being refuge, protection, hope in... sufferings and danger.
b2+... being king of the age...
b3... the sarriwenta-parousia of the Bodhisattvas... The Bodhisattvas have seven good friends:
b3+The all-knowing Buddha the teacher is a friend of the Bodhisattvas.
b4... their own firm, grateful heart is a good friend of the Bodhisattvas.
b4+The notion of death and emptiness (is a good friend of the) Bodhisattvas.
b5Eight things are equally to be avoided by the Bodhisattvas. Imperiousness and arrogance, enemies of compassion, are to be avoided by the Bodhisattvas. Inertia...
