“Those who offer to the stūpa of the Sugata  
Whatever special offerings they have and can afford,  
Accordingly will attain unsurpassable awakening,  
Which is stainless and devoid of sorrow.  
  
“Whoever pays homage to stūpas or statues of the Buddha,  
Respectfully bowing their heads,  
Will, among gods and humans,  
Occupy a place of greater and greater esteem.  
  
“Those who, with devotion, circumambulate  
Stūpas or statues of the Sage  
Will have their enemies bow to them in future lives  
And they will become a fine vessel, full of virtues.  
  
“Those who, with joyful devotion,  
Perform physical activities  
At stūpas and statues of the Unsurpassed One  
Will have abundant riches in every lifetime.³⁸

Will hear the sounds of flutes and singing,

“People who construct a temple to the Victor  
Will, as they transmigrate among beings,  
Obtain a splendorous home like the abode of the lord of gods  
And happiness across all seasons of the year.  
  
“In the higher realms, states that are the result of excellent karma,  
Like Constant Happiness, where one is happy for an eon,  
They will frolic, lack sorrow,  
And finally obtain a state of peace.  
  
“Whoever erects a main gate to the Sage—  
A beautiful archway like the bend of a rainbow—  
Will, in other lives, obtain mansions  
With doors completely decorated.  
  
“Whichever people who, out of devotion  
And in order to protect the teacher’s reliquary,  
Establish a moat and a gate,
