Translation of inscription: Knower of every scriptural tradition of Buddha's Teachings, You carry out the activity of the Buddha's Teachings. Made out of Sangye Senge's noble intentions, May the benefactors of Buddha's Teachings prosper!
By this goodness, may All-Knowing Sun Burn away the thickets of misunderstanding about the Buddha's Teachings, And may the lotus buds of intelligent minds blossom With the spreading sunlight of his shastra treatises.
