Verse I.40 Variations
बुद्धधातुः सचेन्न स्यान्निर्विद्दुःखेऽपि नो भवेत्
नेच्छा न प्रार्थना नापि प्राणिधिर्निवृतौ भवेत्
नेच्छा न प्रार्थना नापि प्राणिधिर्निवृतौ भवेत्
buddhadhātuḥ sacenna syānnirvidduḥkhe'pi no bhavet
necchā na prārthanā nāpi prāṇidhirnivṛtau bhavet
necchā na prārthanā nāpi prāṇidhirnivṛtau bhavet
E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[1]
གལ་ཏེ་སངས་རྒྱས་ཁམས་མེད་ན།
།སྡུག་ལའང་སྐྱོ་བར་མི་འགྱུར་ཞིང་།
།མྱ་ངན་འདས་ལ་འདོད་པ་དང་།
།དོན་གཉེར་སྨོན་པའང་མེད་པར་འགྱུར།
།སྡུག་ལའང་སྐྱོ་བར་མི་འགྱུར་ཞིང་།
།མྱ་ངན་འདས་ལ་འདོད་པ་དང་།
།དོན་གཉེར་སྨོན་པའང་མེད་པར་འགྱུར།
If the buddha element did not exist,
There would be no weariness of suffering,
Nor would there be the wish, striving,
And aspiration for nirvāṇa.
There would be no weariness of suffering,
Nor would there be the wish, striving,
And aspiration for nirvāṇa.
- Si nous n’avions pas d’élément de bouddha,
- Nous ne nous lasserions pas de souffrir
- Et ne voudrions pas d’un nirvāṇa
- Qui ne nous inspirerait ni intérêt ni désir.
