Because of being inscrutable, because of being inexpressible,
And because of being the wisdom of the noble ones, it is inconceivable.
Because of being peaceful, it is free from the dual and without
And because of being the wisdom of the noble ones, it is inconceivable.
Because of being peaceful, it is free from the dual and without
conceptions.
[In its] three [qualities] such as being pure, it is like the sun.
- Non analysable, inexprimable,
- Connu des [seuls] êtres sublimes, il est inconcevable.
- Paix, il est libre des deux [voiles] et de la pensée ;
- Sa pureté et ses deux autres qualités l’assimilent au soleil.

Obermiller (1931) [3]
- It is unthinkable, since it cannot be analysed，
- Is unutterable and revealed (only) to the Saint,
- It is quiescent by being devoid of the two (causes of Phenomenal Existence);
- The other 3 attributes, purity and the rest
- (Suggest) a resemblance with the sun.
Takasaki (1966) [4]
- Because of its being beyond speculation and explanation,
- And because of its being the knowledge of Saints,
- Unthinkability [of the Doctrine should be known];
- Because of quiescence it is non-dual and non-discriminative,
- And three [qualities], purity etc., are akin to the sun.
Fuchs (2000) [5]
- Not being an object of conceptual investigation, being inexpressible,
- and [only] to be known by noble ones, the Dharma is inconceivable.
- Since it is peace, it is free from the two [veils] and free from thought.
- In its three [aspects of] purity and so on it is similar to the sun.
