In the eleventh year, Guṇavarman established an ordination platform at Nanlin Monastery to confer precepts upon monks and nuns; this was the beginning of the ordination platform in Cīnasthāna. At that time, eight bhikṣuṇīs from the state of Siṃhala arrived; before long, three more nuns including Tessarā arrived, completing a quorum of ten. They then invited Saṅghavarman as their master to re-confer the full precepts on the nun Huiguo and others of Jingfu Monastery on the Nanlin ordination platform in dependence upon both assemblies, ordaining over three hundred persons.
