Suppose some were absorbed here in the dhyānas that extinguish the fire of the afflictions in the three realms of existence
And would arrive at the perfection of the [meditative] states of the gods and Brahmā, thus possessing the immutable means for perfect awakening,
While some others were to hear [just] one word of this [dharma] and, upon hearing it, would have confidence in it—
The latter would attain far more merit than the virtue arising from such dhyānas.
And would arrive at the perfection of the [meditative] states of the gods and Brahmā, thus possessing the immutable means for perfect awakening,

- Il y a ici-bas des individus qui pratiquent les concentrations
- qui éteignent le feu des affections dans les trois mondes,
- Et, arrivés au terme du domaine des dieux et de Brahma,
- cultivent les immuables méthodes de l’Éveil parfait.
- Il y en a d’autres qui n’entendent qu’un seul mot
- [du présent traité] et qui, l’entendant, y croient
- Ceux-là en tireront beaucoup plus de mérites
- qu’on en tirera de la vertu de concentration [ci-dessus évoquée].

- Suppressing the fire of passion in the 3 spheres of this World,
- And, transferred to the limits of the abode of the gods and of Brahma,

- The inalterable state of Supreme Enlightenment;
- Another, if he hears but one word (of this teaching)

- I follow VT (fol. 16v7) caturṣu sthāneṣv (supported by DP and C) instead of just sthāneṣv. These four points are vajra points 4 through 7—the tathāgata heart, awakening, its qualities, and its activity.
- DP "those with pure minds" (dagga pa’i seems).
- Instead of °buddhi, DP read "buddha qualities" (snags rgyas yon tan) in the next line.
- VT (fol. 16v7) glosses "this" as "the discussion of the doctrine that explicitly speaks of the buddha element and so on."
- "The meditative states of the gods"refers to the four dhyānas and the four formless absorptions, while the four brahmāvihāras are the four immeasurables of love, compassion, rejoicing, and equanimity that lead to rebirth as the god Mahābrahmā.
- With Schmithausen, I follow MB and J saṃbodhyupāyācyutaḥ (supported by DP rdzogs pa’i byang chub ’pho med thabs bsgoms la) against MA saṃbodhyupāyāc cyutaḥ, whose meaning is also found in C.
