Obermiller (1931) [4]
Free from any searching thought,
The sun, expanding its light, simultaneously, everywhere
Makes the lotus flower unfold its leaves
And causes to ripen (other kinds of plants).
Takasaki (1966) [5]
Just as the sun, without thought—construction,
With his own rays, simultaneously everywhere,
Lets the lotus flowers come to blossom,
And lets the other come to ripeness;
Fuchs (2000) [6]
As the sun shining its own light
simultaneously and without thought
makes lotus flowers open their petals
and brings ripening to other [crops],
