Sakya Pandita along with Rahula and Nagarjuna are the only three human figures to be portrayed with the ushnisha, a lakshana otherwise reserved for deities. The inscription is translated and published as "The Mind of Buddhas in the three periods of time, Is the non-dual wisdom of Manjughosh. He is the Glorious Sakya Pandita. I prostrate always before his lotus feet."
