匪懈(音戒若音嫁者非也此處說提謂波利二長者獻[麩-夫+少]蜜佛授與髮爪令起塔供養因問如何作如來乃褺三衣為基趾覆鉢盍於衣上為塔身豎錫杖於傍為相輪二長者將髮爪歸本城各起塔今猶見在是佛最初令造塔在此地也即縛喝國界也)。

Untiring (pronounced like 戒; pronouncing it like 嫁 is incorrect. This refers to the elder merchants Trapuṣa and Bhallika offering roasted flour and honey to the Buddha. The Buddha bestowed his hair and nail-clippings, instructing them to build a stūpa for worship. When they asked how to construct it, the Tathāgata folded his threefold robes into a foundation, inverted his almsbowl over the robes as the stūpa body, and erected his khakkhara staff beside it as the wheel-rings. The two elders took the hair and nails back to their home city and each erected a stūpa, which can still be seen today. This was where the Buddha first ordered the building of stūpas, right in the territory of the Kingdom of Balkh).
