Other English translations[edit]

Obermiller (1931) [7]
The apparition is like the reflected form
Of the chief of the gods on a precious stone,
And the excellent teaching is like the celestial drum,
The all-penetrating Wisdom and Love, they are like clouds,
Pervading all that lives up to the highest limits of existence.
Takasaki (1966) [8]
The excellent teacher has an appearance
Like the reflection of the chief of gods on the jewel,
His voice is like the [sound of] the divine drum,
Having the great sphere of the clouds of Wisdom and Mercy,
He pervades an unlimited number of living beings,
Up to the highest limit of existence.
Fuchs (2000) [9]
[Kayas] are displayed like the Lord of Gods appearing [in] the gem.
Explanation being well bestowed resembles the drum of the gods.
With cloud-hosts of insight and deep concern, the All-Embracing
pervades the limitless number of beings up to existence's peak.
