Flaws, qualities, and perfection,
Just as space [pervades] inferior, middling,
And supreme kinds of forms.

Holmes (1985) [3]
- This, the general characteristic of all,
- permeates the good, the bad and the ultimate,
- like space permeates all forms
- whether lesser, mediocre or perfect.
Fuchs (2000) [4]
- As the general feature [of everything], it embraces [those with]
- faults,
- [those with] qualities, and [those in whom the qualities are]
- ultimate
- just as space [pervades everything] visible,
- be it of inferior, average, or supreme appearance.
