Verse IV.27 Variations
वैडूर्यस्पष्टशुभ्रा विमलमणिगुणा श्रीमत्समतला
शुद्धत्वात्तत्र बिम्बं सुरपतिभवनं माहेन्द्रमरुता-
मुत्पद्येत क्रमेण क्षितिगुणविगमादस्तं पुनरियात्
vaiḍūryaspaṣṭaśubhrā vimalamaṇiguṇā śrīmatsamatalā
śuddhatvāttatra bimbaṃ surapatibhavanaṃ māhendramarutā-
mutpadyeta krameṇa kṣitiguṇavigamādastaṃ punariyāt
།གསལ་མཛེས་ནོར་བུའི་ཡོན་ཏན་དྲི་བྲལ་དཔལ་ལྡན་སྟེང་ནི་མཉམ་གྱུར་ཏེ།
།དག་ཕྱིར་དེར་ནི་ལྷ་དག་སྣ་ཚོགས་ལྷ་དབང་ལྷ་ཡི་གཟུགས་ཤར་སྟེ།
།རིམ་གྱིས་ས་ཡི་ཡོན་ཏན་དྲལ་ཕྱིར་དེ་ནི་སླར་ཡང་མི་སྣང་འགྱུར།
And were a surface of clear and spotless beryl, with the stainless qualities of a jewel, splendid, and even.
Due to its purity, a reflection of the array of the abode of the lord of gods, Indra [himself], and the maruts would appear in it,
But since the earth would gradually lose those qualities, [that reflection] would disappear again.
- Si la terre, débarrassée de tous ses lieux inquiétants,
- Prenait la belle clarté d’un pur lapis, si elle devenait lisse
- et présentait les perfections d’un joyau,
- Elle serait si pure que les divers séjours divins
- et la forme des dieux et de leur seigneur pourraient s’y refléter.
- Mais peu à peu le sol perdrait ces qualités,
- et les reflets dont il se parait disparaîtraient.

- D100, fols. 278b.6–280b.1.
- DP "yāna."
- I follow MB saddharmakāyam adhyātmaṃ (corresponding to DP nang gi dam pa’i chos sku) against J saddharmakāyaṃ madhyasthaṃ.
- With Schmithausen and against Takasaki, I take the compound °viṣamasthānāntaramala as consisting of viṣamasthāna, antara, and mall.
- VT (fol. 16r4) glosses śubhra as "clear, transparent" (svacchā). Śubhra can also mean "radiant," "splendid," "spotless," and "bright"; DP have mazes pa.
- I follow Schmithausen’s suggested reading of MB surapatibhavanavyūhendramarutām against J surapatibhavanaṃ māhendramarutām, with °vyūha being supported by D tshogs (P mistakenly has sna tshogs instead of gas tshogs). The maruts are the storm gods who are the retinue of Indra.
- I follow de Jong’s suggested reading cittāny udpādayanti (supported by D seems rab bskyed byed; P mistakenly has gshegs instead of seems) against J cittān vyutpādayanti and Chowdury’s "correction" citrāṇy utpādayanati (see de Jong 1968, 50). Obviously, this refers to all the kinds of mind-sets that represent or flow from bodhicitta.
