Verse I.113 Variations

तद्वन्मनोऽन्तर्गतमप्य चिन्त्य-
मक्षय्यधर्मामलरत्नकोशम्
अबुध्यमानानुभवत्यजस्रं
दारिद्रयदुःखं बहुधा प्रजेयम्
tadvanmano'ntargatamapya cintya-
makṣayyadharmāmalaratnakośam
abudhyamānānubhavatyajasraṃ
dāridrayaduḥkhaṃ bahudhā prajeyam
E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[1]
།དེ་བཞིན་ཡིད་ཀྱི་ནང་ཆུད་རིན་ཆེན་གཏེར།
།དྲི་མེད་གཞག་དང་བསལ་མེད་ཆོས་ཉིད་ཀྱང་།
།མ་རྟོགས་པས་ན་དབུལ་བའི་སྡུག་བསྔལ་ནི།
།རྣམ་མང་རྒྱུན་དུ་སྐྱེ་དགུ་འདིས་མྱོང་ངོ།
Dege, PHI, 118
Similarly, with the stainless treasure of jewels lodged within the mind,
Whose nature is to be inconceivable and inexhaustible,
Not being realized, beings continuously experience
The suffering of being destitute in many ways.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 397 [2]
De même, l’esprit recèle le précieux trésor immaculé
De l’essence du réel sans ajout ni retrait.
Ne l’ayant pas compris, les êtres subissent constamment
Les souffrances de la pauvreté sous maintes formes.

Other English translations[edit]

Obermiller (1931) [3]
Similar to this is the treasure contained in the Spirit,
The Immaculate Essence which neither diminishes nor increases;
The living beings that know nothing about it
Constantly experience manifold suffering that is like poverty.
Takasaki (1966) [4]
Similarly, though there is a treasure of immaculate jewel,
The inconceivable, inexhaustible properties in the mind,
The living beings of the world, without knowing it,
Constantly experience the suffering of poverty in various ways.
Fuchs (2000) [5]
Likewise a precious treasure is contained in each being's mind. This is its true state,
which is free from defilement. Nothing is to be added and nothing to be removed.
Nevertheless, since they do not realize this, sentient beings
continuously undergo the manifold sufferings of deprivation.
