many devout persons will be of mean intellect and shortlived so, let them accomplish their object by taking advantage of the work by your grace, like Manaka Muni. Besides, let the ascetics be pleased by repeatedly hearing the Daśa vaikalika Sūtra, which is like the pollen of the lotus of Sacred Knowledge.”

It is said,
कृतं विकालवेलायां दशाध्ययनगर्भितम् । दशवैकालिकमिति-नाम्ना शास्त्रं बभूव तत् ॥ १॥ अतः परं भविष्यंति, प्राणिनो यल्पमेधसः। . कृतार्थास्ते मनकवत् भवतु त्वत्प्रसादतः ॥ २ ॥ श्रुतांभोजस्य किं जल्कं दशवैकालिकं ह्यदः । आचंम्याचम्यमोदन्ता-मनगारमधुव्रताः ॥ ३ ॥ इति संघोपरोधेन श्रीशय्यंभवसूरिभिः ।
दशवैकालिको ग्रंथो, न संवत्रे महात्मभिः ॥ ४ ॥ इति 1. Kritam vikāla velāyām daśadhyayana garbhitam;
Daśa vaikalika miti-namnā sastram babbuva tat.
2. Atah param bhavisyanti pranino hyalpa medhasah;
Kritarthaste Manakavat bhavatu tyat prasádataḥ. 3. Śrutāmbhojasya kim jalkam Daśa vaikälikam hyadah;
Acāmācamya modantá-managāra madhuvritāḥ. 4. Iti sanghoparodhena śri Sayyambhava-sūribhih;
Daśavaikāliko grantho na samyavre mahātmabhiḥ.
1. Pripared during evening hours and containing ten chapters it became a canonical work named Daśavaikālika.
2. Hence-forward, people will be of little intellect, so let them accomplish their object ( Liberation) like Manaka by your grace.
