伟大的虔敬之王立即传唤所有的苯教徒聚集于桑耶，以温和的手段进行惩处。上师说：「内苯与佛法是和谐共处的，

therefore leave them as they are. As for the depraved Bon, however, they are no different from the fanatical heathens. And yet it would be wrong to kill them. Let them therefore be banished to the borderlands."

因此就让他们继续下去。那些败坏的苯教徒却无异于狂热的异端份子，但仍不应杀害他们，就让他们流放边疆。」

Following the counsel ofthe Guru, the pious king caused all the Bon writings to be sorted out and named as "outer" or "inner." All the books of the Outer Bon were burned, while those of the Inner Bon were concealed as Treasures.

虔敬之王听取上师的建议，将所有的苯教文献整理出来，区分为外苯和内苯。所有外苯的文书皆被烧毁，内苯的则被隐藏成为伏藏。

从那天起，国王及大臣、朝众和所有受他统治的人们，不管藏人或是外地人，都必须遵守信持佛法、弃绝苯教的律法。

对于来自鄢金、沙霍、克什米尔的三位大师，国王则供养黄金和绿松石的曼达、大量丝绸、锦缎，以及无数其他精致礼品，请求大师们在藏地弘扬显、密二部教法。

大班智达们甚感欢喜，微笑说道：「诚然善哉。」堪布、上师、无垢友尊者都许诺守护佛陀教法，直至王愿达成为止。
