ཇི་ལྟར་ཡིད་བཞིན་ནོར་བུ་ནི། །
རྟོག་པ་མེད་ཀྱང་ཅིག་ཅར་དུ། །

Just as a wish-fulfilling jewel,
Though it is without a thought,
Simultaneously and individually fulfills
All desires of those who are in its reach,

Exauce chacun de tous les désirs

De ceux qui se trouvent dans sa sphère

Instantanément et sans y penser,

(6) [That sūtra also] says that [buddha activity] is similar to a wish-fulfilling jewel.

Just as a wish-fulfilling jewel,

Though it is without a thought,

Simultaneously and individually fulfills

All desires of those who are in its reach, IV.67

So those of individual intentions who rely

On the wish-fulfilling jewel of the Buddha

Hear about the nature of phenomena in its various [aspects],

But he does not think about them. IV.68

Just as the precious jewel without thoughts

Effortlessly grants others their desired gifts, (J110)

So the sage always remains without effort as is appropriate

For the sake of others for as long as [saṃsāric] existence lasts. IV.69

cintāmaṇivad iti /

yugapad gocarasthānāṃ sarvābhiprāyapūraṇam /

kurute nirvikalpo ’pi pṛthak cintāmaṇir yathā // 67 //

buddhacintāmaṇiṃ tadvat sametya pṛthagāśayāḥ /

śṛṇvanti dharmatāṃ citrāṃ na kalpayati tāṃś ca saḥ // 68 //

yathāvikalpaṃ maṇiratnam īpsitaṃ dhanaṃ parebhyo visṛjaty ayatnataḥ /

tathā munir yatnam ṛte yathārhataḥ parārtham ātiṣṭhati nityam ā bhavāt // 69 //

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931)

Just as the wish-fulfilling gem

Free from a searching thought, simultaneously,

Fulfills, in every case separately, all the desires

Of those who have in view a special aim,—

Takasaki (1966)

Just as the wish-fulfilling gem,

Though itself is of no thought-construction,

Fulfills all desires of those

Living in the same region, separately;

Fuchs (2000)

A wish-fulfilling gem, though free from thought,

grants all those who dwell in its field of activity

each of their desires simultaneously,

doing so in the most perfect manner.
