With regard to introducing bodhisattvas to nonconceptual wisdom, it is taught in the prajñāpāramitā [sūtras] and others that the tathāgata element has the general characteristic of being the [natural] purity of the '''suchness''' of all phenomena. It should be understood that, in brief, the three [types of] persons engage it in three different ways—'''ordinary beings''' who do not see true reality,<ref>I follow MB ''tattvadarśinaḥ pṛthagjanasya'' (confirmed by DP ''de kho na ma mthong ba’i so so skye bo''), while J omits ''tattvadarśinaḥ''.</ref> '''noble ones''' who see true reality, and '''tathāgatas''' who have reached the ultimate purity of seeing true reality.<ref>I follow Schmithausen’s emendation of MB ''tattvadarśinaviśuddhi''° to ''tattvadarśanaviśuddhi''° (confirmed by DP ''de kho na mthong ba rnam par dag pa''), while J omits ''tattvadarśana''°. | |||
</ref> {D96a} That is, [these persons] '''are mistaken''', unmistaken, {J40} '''and''' perfectly '''unmistaken and free from reference points''', respectively. Here, "mistaken" refers to [the way of engaging] of naive beings because they are mistaken in terms of discrimination, mind, and view. "Unmistaken" refers to [the way of engaging] of the noble ones because they, being opposite [to naive beings], have relinquished such [mistakenness]. "Perfectly unmistaken and free from reference points" refers to [the way of engaging] of completely perfect buddhas because they have overcome [all] afflictive and cognitive obscurations, including their latent tendencies. | |||
Following this, the four topics other than this one should be understood as instructions on specific aspects of the topic of manifestation.<ref>I follow Schmithausen’s suggestion ''prabhedanirdeśatvena'' (which is supported by DP dbye ba ston par) against MA/MB ''prabhedanirdeśādvena'' and J ''prabhedanirdeśādeva''. On RGVV’s saying here that the remaining four topics (phases, all-pervasiveness, changelessness, and inseparability) are simply extensions of the sixth topic "manifestation,"see RGVV’s statement at the beginning of explaining the ten topics (J26) that the threefold nature of the tathāgata heart (the dharmakāya, suchness, and the disposition) is "invariably taught in all the words [of the Buddha]"through these topics.</ref> | |||

Other English translations
Obermiller (1931) [8]
- The Absolute manifests itself differently
- In the worldlings, the Saints, and the Supreme Buddha.
- Having perceived this, (the Lord) has declared
- That the Essence of Buddhahood exists in all that lives.[9]
Takasaki (1966) [10]
- The Ordinary People, the Saints, and the Buddhas, —
- They are indivisible from Reality,
- Therefore, the Matrix of the Buddha exists among [all] living beings; —
- Thus it is taught by the perceivers of the Reality.
Holmes (1985) [11]
- Suchness is approached in different ways
- by ordinary beings, the deeply-realised
- and the completely-enlightened.
- Hence the seers of the true nature have taught
- that all beings have this buddha-essence.
Holmes (1999) [12]
- Suchness is approached in different ways
- by ordinary beings, the deeply-realised
- and the completely-enlightened.
- This is how those who see the true nature
- have taught beings about this heart-essence of the Victors.
Fuchs (2000) [13]
- Based upon the manifestation of suchness dividing
- into that of an ordinary being, that of a noble one,
- and that of a perfect buddha, He who Sees Thatness
- has explained the nature of the Victor to beings.

- I follow MB °tathatābhinnavṛttitaḥ and DP de bzhin nyid dbye’i ’jug pa las against J °tathatāvyatirekataḥ. The translation follows Schmithausen’s suggestion to understand this compound as a predicative ablative (as in I.42) qualifying "the disposition of the victors" (thus, closely corresponding in meaning to °bhinnavṛttikaḥ in Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkāra IX.59b). However, as Schmithausen remarks, RGVV interprets vṛtti as pravṛtti in the sense of the more or less unmistaken ways in which ordinary beings, bodhisattvas, and buddhas engage the tathāgata heart. Besides "manifestation" and "engagement,"both terms can also mean "behavior," "activity," and "function." Further meanings of vṛtti include "mode of being," "nature," "state," and "condition,"while pravṛtti can also mean "advancing" and "cognition."
- This verse closely parallels the words and the meaning of Madhyāntavibhāga IV.12.
- I follow MB tattvadarśinaḥ pṛthagjanasya (confirmed by DP de kho na ma mthong ba’i so so skye bo), while J omits tattvadarśinaḥ.
- I follow Schmithausen’s emendation of MB tattvadarśinaviśuddhi° to tattvadarśanaviśuddhi° (confirmed by DP de kho na mthong ba rnam par dag pa), while J omits tattvadarśana°.
- I follow Schmithausen’s suggestion prabhedanirdeśatvena (which is supported by DP dbye ba ston par) against MA/MB prabhedanirdeśādvena and J prabhedanirdeśādeva. On RGVV’s saying here that the remaining four topics (phases, all-pervasiveness, changelessness, and inseparability) are simply extensions of the sixth topic "manifestation,"see RGVV’s statement at the beginning of explaining the ten topics (J26) that the threefold nature of the tathāgata heart (the dharmakāya, suchness, and the disposition) is "invariably taught in all the words [of the Buddha]"through these topics.
