Om! Good wishes… Let it be known that Bhaṭṭāraka mahārāja Śrī (Rāma)deva is ruling more than hundred years…and let it be known in this time (the image of) Lord Āryāvalokiteśvara was set up. The merit obtained from this act performed by the great devotee Maṇigupta with his wife Mahendramatī will go to make all the living beings of the world including his parents obtain all kinds of enjoyments…for the bliss of all comprehensive knowledge.
