Verse V.20 Variations

यस्मान्नेह जिनात् सुपण्डिततमो लोकेऽस्ति कश्चित्क्वचित्
सर्वज्ञः सकलं स वेद विधिवत्तत्त्वं परं नापरः
तस्माद्यत्स्वयमेव नीतमृषिणा सूत्रं विचाल्यं न तत्
सद्धर्मप्रतिबाधनं हि तदपि स्यान्नीति भेदान्मुनेः
E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[1]
yasmānneha jināt supaṇḍitatamo loke'sti kaścitkvacit
sarvajñaḥ sakalaṃ sa veda vidhivattattvaṃ paraṃ nāparaḥ
tasmādyatsvayameva nītamṛṣiṇā sūtraṃ vicālyaṃ na tat
saddharmapratibādhanaṃ hi tadapi syānnīti bhedānmuneḥ
E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[2]
།གང་ཕྱིར་རྒྱལ་ལས་ཆེས་མཁས་འགའ་ཡང་འཇིག་རྟེན་འདི་ན་ཡོད་མིན་ཏེ།
།མ་ལུས་དེ་ཉིད་མཆོག་ནི་ཚུལ་བཞིན་ཀུན་མཁྱེན་གྱིས་མཁྱེན་གཞན་མིན་པ།
།དེ་ཕྱིར་དྲང་སྲོང་རང་ཉིད་ཀྱིས་གཞག་མདོ་སྡེ་གང་ཡིན་དེ་མི་དཀྲུག
།ཐུབ་ཚུལ་བཤིག་ཕྱིར་དེ་ཡང་དམ་ཆོས་ལ་ནི་གནོད་པ་བྱེད་པར་འགྱུར།
Dege, PHI, 144
In this world, there is no one wiser than the victor,
No other one anywhere who is omniscient and properly knows supreme true reality in its entirety.
Therefore, one should not deviate from the sūtras taught to be definitive by the seer himself.
Otherwise, this will harm the genuine dharma through destroying

the guidance of the sage.

When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 458 [3]
Personne au monde n’est plus sage que le Vainqueur,
Nul autre que lui n’a l’omniscience qui connaît avec exactitude
la totalité des choses et leur suprême réalité.
Aussi ne faut-il pas mélanger les soûtras disposés par le Sage lui-même
Car, en détruisant la méthode du Sage,
on nuirait gravement au vrai Dharma.
