42.1080

Eighty-four hundred thousand padas were proclaimed in this aṅga
by the possessors of supreme, excellent knowledge and vision, [along with] infinite states and non-states.

42.1081

May the ocean of the saṅgha, vast in virtues, be ever victorious—having austerity, vows, and modesty as its shore,
knowledge as its pure and extensive waters, and hundreds of reasons as its great swift current!

42.1082

Obeisance to the gaṇadharas beginning with Gautama! Obeisance to the venerable Vivāhapannatti! Obeisance to the twelve-limbed collection of the gaṇis (Gaṇipiṭaka)!

42.1083

May the venerable Śrutadevatā, whose feet are well-placed like a water-lily,
resembling an unfaded kurabaka flower-bud, destroy the darkness of my mind!

42.1084

May the goddess presiding over scripture, who holds a blooming lotus in her hand, who has dispelled darkness,
and who is constantly revered by the wise and learned, grant intellect even to me!

42.1085

We bow to the Śrutadevatā by whose grace knowledge was learned;
and I revere that pacifying goddess of the doctrine (Pravacanadevī).

42.1086

May the Śrutadevatā, the pot-bearing yakṣa, Brahmaśānti, Vairoṭyā,
and the Vidyā Antahuṇḍī grant freedom from obstacles to the scribe!

42.1087

In the Pannatti, of the first eight śatakas, two uddeśakas are recited [per day]; however, in the fourth śataka, eight uddeśakas are recited on the first day and two uddeśakas on the second day. Beginning from the ninth śataka, as much as one masters, that much is recited in one day: at maximum, one śataka in one day; at middling, one śataka in two days; at minimum, one śataka in three days; thus up to the twentieth śataka. However, the Gośāla [śataka] is recited in one day; if [the recitation] is completed, authorization is given with one āyambila fasting, but if not completed, authorization is given with a sixth [fast, i.e., two days' fast]. The twenty-first, twenty-second, and twenty-third śatakas are recited in one day each. The twenty-fourth śataka in two days—six uddeśakas each. The twenty-fifth śataka in two days—six uddeśakas each. The eight bandhi-śatakas in one day; the twelve śreḍhi-śatakas in one [day]; the twelve one-sensed-being great-pair śatakas in one [day]; thus the twelve of two-sensed beings, the twelve of three-sensed beings, the twelve of four-sensed beings in one [day]; the twelve of non-sentient five-sensed beings and the twenty-one sentient five-sensed-being great-pair śatakas are recited in one day each. The group-pair śataka is recited in one day.
