Translation
Il est Gāndhāra; il est aussi le buveur de surā : par grâce, il accepte même ce qui est offert dans l’ignorance. Il se voue aux austérités et à la discipline, et demeure toujours bienveillant. Il est Mahābhūta, la Grande Réalité élémentaire, entouré de multitudes d’êtres, et servi par les troupes d’Apsarās.
