Verse I.106 Variations

सत्त्वेष्वपि क्लेशमलोपसृष्ट-
मेवं न तावत्कुरुते जिनत्वम्
संबुद्धकार्यं त्रिभवे न याव-
द्विमुच्यते क्लेशमलोपसर्गात्

sattveṣvapi kleśamalopasṛṣṭa-
mevaṃ na tāvatkurute jinatvam
saṃbuddhakāryaṃ tribhave na yāva-
dvimucyate kleśamalopasargāt

E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.^[1]

དེ་བཞིན་སེམས་ཅན་ལ་ཡོད་ཉོན་མོངས་ཀྱི། །
དྲི་མ་དང་འདྲེས་རྒྱལ་བའང་ཇི་སྲིད་དུ། །
ཉོན་མོངས་དྲི་མ་འདྲེས་ལས་མ་གྲོལ་བ། །
དེ་སྲིད་རྒྱལ་མཛད་སྲིད་གསུམ་འདུ་མི་བྱེད། །

Dege, PHI, 118

Similarly, the state of a victor in sentient beings,
Which is obscured by the stains of the afflictions,
Does not perform the activity of a perfect buddha in the three existences
For as long as it is not liberated from the afflictions added on [to it].

When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 395 ^[2]

佛見諸眾生身有如來性

煩惱皮糩纏不能作佛事
以善方便力令三界眾生
除煩惱皮糩隨意作佛事

De même, tant que le Vainqueur présent en chaque être,

Mêlé cependant à la souillure des affections,

N’aura pas été libéré de cette promiscuité

avec la souillure des affections,

Les Vainqueurs n’exerceront leurs activités

dans aucun des trois mondes.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) ^[3]

In a similar way the (Essence of the) Buddha

Exists in the living beings; mingled with defilement,

And as long as it is not free from the contact with the stains of the passions,

It cannot perform the acts of the Buddha in the 3 Spheres.

Takasaki (1966) ^[4]

Similarly, the Buddhahood in the living beings

Is polluted with the stains of Defilements,

And unless it is freed from the association of stains of Defilements,

It cannot perform the Acts of Buddha in the 3 Spheres.

Fuchs (2000) ^[5]

[The nature of] the Victorious One, which is present within beings

[but] mixed with the defilement of the poisons, is similar to this.

While it is not freed from being mingled with the pollution of these afflictions,

the deeds of the Victor will not be [displayed] in the three realms of existence.

+|EnglishCommentary=[In the third example,] the '''afflictions''' are like the outer '''husks''', while the tathāgata element resembles the inner '''kernel'''.
