Saṅgharakṣitāvadāna

Folia 70–79 (left margin), 1–9 (right margin): This section recounts the story of Saṅgharakṣita, a dharma teacher accompanying five hundred merchants on an overseas journey. During the voyage, the ship is seized by nāgas who invite Saṅgharakṣita to their underwater realm to teach the four Āgamas. After fulfilling their request, he returns to the ship, and they reach land safely. There, Saṅgharakṣita encounters beings suffering in hell due to transgressions committed as monastic disciples under the Buddha Kāśyapa. He later meets and converts five hundred seers, and along with the original merchants, brings them all to the Buddha for ordination. (Rotman, Andy. Divine Stories: Divyāvadāna, Part 1.
