- The greatness of the benefactors who brought the teachings
- The greatness of the location where the teachings were translated
- The greatness of the lotsawas who translated the teachings
- The greatness of the panditas who clarified the teachings for the translators
- The greatness of the offerings
- The greatness of the teachings translated
