यदर्थवद्धर्मपदोपसंहितं

།གང་ཞིག་དོན་ལྡན་ཆོས་དང་ཉེར་འབྲེལ་ཞིང་།
།ཁམས་གསུམ་ཀུན་ནས་ཉོན་མོངས་སྤོང་བྱེད་གསུང་།
།ཞི་བའི་ཕན་ཡོན་སྟོན་པར་མཛད་པ་གང་།
།དེ་ནི་དྲང་སྲོང་གསུང་ཡིན་བཟློག་པ་གཞན།
Dege, PHI, 144
Any utterance that is meaningful, is connected with the words of the dharma,
Relinquishes the afflictions of the three realms,
And teaches the benefit of peace
Is the speech of the seer, while others are its opposite.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 458 [3]
Une parole pourvue d’un sens et liée au Dharma
Qui tend à chasser les affections des trois mondes
Et montre les bienfaits de la paix : telle est
La parole du grand Sage. Ses contraires sont autres.

Other English translations[edit]

Obermiller (1931) [8]
The word which is connected with the Doctrine
That pursues the (ultimate) aim (of mankind)，
Is conducive to the removal of defilement in the 3 spheres of this world,
And demonstrates the bliss of Quiescence,—
Is that of the Great Sage; all that disagrees with it is of other origin.
Takasaki (1966) [9]
It pursues the [ultimate] aim [of living beings],
Is conducive to removing the Defilements in the 3 Worlds,
And can demonstrate the advantage of Quiescence,
Such a word is that of the Great Sage,
And all others are of perverse character.
Fuchs (2000) [10]
Whatever speech is meaningful and well connected with Dharma,
which removes all afflictions of the three realms
and shows the benefit of the [attainment] of peace,
is the speech of the Sage, while any different speech is other.

  4. Following this verse, DP and C insert several headings that are absent in the Sanskrit (DP omits the first one here and also the one for V.25), but derived from V.26–28. When available, I follow the text of these headings in DP, with phrases in "( )"being added by the translator. The present heading is a slight modification of Takasaki (1966a, 384) according to the following headings in DP.
  5. Skt. pratibhā, which can also mean "boldness" or "audacity"; thus DP "self-confidence" (spobs pa).
  6. DP omit "the words of."
  7. The words in "[ ]"are found in DP.
