    The topic of this paper is the clamped plate eigenvalue problem \[ \begin{cases} \Delta^2 u = \Gamma u, &\text{in } \Omega,\\ u = \frac{\partial{u}}{\partial{\nu}}= 0 &\text{on } \partial \Omega, \end{cases} \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in an \(n\)-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold \(M^n\). It is well-known that this problem has a real and discrete spectrum \[ 0 < \Gamma_1 \leq \Gamma_2 \leq \dots \leq \Gamma_k \leq \dots \to \infty . \] \textit{H. A. Levine} and \textit{M. H. Protter} [Math. Methods Appl. Sci. 7, 210--222 (1985; Zbl 0591.35050)] proved \[ \frac{1}{k}\sum_1^k\Gamma_j \geq \frac{n}{n+4}\frac{16\pi^4}{(B_nV(\Omega))^{4/n}}k^{4/n}, \] where \(V(\Omega)\) is the volume of \(\Omega\) and \(B_n\) the volume of the unit ball in \(R^n\). Basing on Fourier transformations and symmetric rearrangement the authors give an improvement of the result of [Levine and Protter, loc. cit.].
