The sun rises in the east,
The warm eastern sun,
The rises in the three eastern directions,
The warm eastern sun,
The sun’s clean light
Will shine on the land of our birth.

The moon’s clean light
Will shine on the capital Basgo.
To the east of the capital Basgo
Dawn descended on that plain.
To the east of Basgo’s fortress

Dawn descended on that plain.
It is said that dawn fell on that plain
A golden aura descended on that plain.
It is said that dawn fell on that plain
A silver aura descended on that plain.

On the capital Basgo’s maiden,
The maiden descended on that meadow.
When it is said that the maiden descended on that meadow,

Flowers burst forth on that meadow.
It is said that the maiden descended on that meadow,
Flowers burst forth on that meadow.
It is said that the maiden descended on that meadow,

Hailstones fell on that meadow.
Erected by all Skalwa Zangpo’s men,
The holy places all Skalwa Zangpo’s men,abide.
Erected by the fortunate and meritorious one,
The gold and copper Buddha Maitreya, the victorious Loving One.

Offered by the splendid youth,
Very own hands.
The one who made bows and offered butter lamps
Basgo’s splendid maiden

Erected by all Skalwa Zangpo’s men,
The long Vulture Mani Wall.
Erected by the fortunate and meritorious one,
The long Vulture Mani Wall.
Make circumambulations with his very own hands,
The land’s splendid youth.
Make circumambulations with her very own hands,
Basgo’s splendid maiden.
It is said they circumambulated clockwise,
May all their bodily defilements be purified.
It is said they circumambulated clockwise,
May all their minds’ suffering be pacified.
