the same year. Pillar B also has a single line of Chinese text which states that it was erected in the 10th month of the 15th year of the Hongzhi era (1502) by the abbot Zhashi Lingzhan (). The abbot's name is a transcription of the Tibetan name Trashi Rinchen meaning "Auspicious Precious". The main body of the Tangut text engraved on the 1sth through 7th faces of both pillars comprises the Dharani-Sutra of the Victorious Buddha-Crown (; Sanskrit: ), a text that is particularly associated with the transmigration of the souls of the dead. The Tangut text of this dharani-sutra is also found on the east wall of the Cloud Platform at Juyongguan in Beijing, where it is separately transcribed in the Lanydza, Tibetan, 'Phags-pa, Old Uyghur, Chinese, and Tangut scripts. The Cloud Platform Buddhist inscriptions were made during the late Yuan Dynasty, in 1345, more than 150 years before the Baoding pillars were erected. As yet the full text of the inscriptions on the Baoding pillars has not been published, and the relationship between the Baoding version of the text and the Juyongguan version of the text is uncertain. On the 8th face of both pillars is a long list of the names of benefactors who donated money for the erection of the pillars. In total the names of more than eighty donors are listed, with no name being repeated on both pillars, suggesting that the money to erect the two pillars was collected at the same time.
