Verse V.23 Variations
भेतव्यं विदुषामतीव तु यथा गम्भीरधर्मक्षतेः
कुर्युर्जीवितविप्रयोगमनलव्यालारिवज्राग्नय-
स्तद्धेतोर्न पुनर्व्रजेदतिभयामावीचिकानां गतिम्
bhetavyaṃ viduṣāmatīva tu yathā gambhīradharmakṣateḥ
kuryurjīvitaviprayogamanalavyālārivajrāgnaya-
staddhetorna punarvrajedatibhayāmāvīcikānāṃ gatim
མི་བཟད་སྦྲུལ་གདུག་གཤེད་མ་དང་ནི་ཐོག་ལའང་ཤིན་ཏུ་འཇིགས་མི་བྱ། །
མེ་སྦྲུལ་དགྲ་དང་རྡོ་རྗེའི་མེ་ནི་སྲོག་དང་བྲལ་བ་ཙམ་བྱེད་དེ། །
དེ་ལས་མནར་མེད་རྣམས་ཀྱི་འགྲོ་བ་ཤིན་ཏུ་འཇིགས་པར་འགྲོ་མི་འགྱུར། །
As they should be of the loss of the profound dharma.
Fire, snakes, enemies, and lightning may [at most] end one’s life,
But one would not wander to the most fearsome realm of those in Avīci through such causes.
- Plus que le feu, le poison d’un terrible serpent, l’assassin ou la foudre,
- Les sages craindront le déclin des enseignements profonds.
- Le feu, le serpent, l’ennemi et la foudre ne font que prendre la vie ;
- Ils ne conduisent pas dans l’effroyable destinée
- des Tourments Insurpassables.

Obermiller (1931) [8]
- The wise, they need not be afraid
- Of fire, of the violent poison of serpents,
- Of murderers, and of thunder and lightning,
- As are those who have rejected this profound Doctrine.
- Indeed, fire, serpents, foes, and lightning,
- They only deprive one of (this) life,
- But they cannot inspire the fear
- Of being reborn in the lowest of hells.
Takasaki (1966) [9]
- The wise one need not be so much afraid of fire,
- Of violent poison of snake, of murder, or of lightning,
- As he should be afraid of the loss of the profound Doctrine,
- Because a fire, a snake, an enemy, and lightning,
- At most, may deprive one of [this] life
- But one will not go, by these causes,
- To the most terrible world of Avīci.
Fuchs (2000) [10]
- Skillful beings must not be as deeply afraid of fire and cruel
- poisonous snakes,
- of murderers or lightning, as they should be of the loss of the
- profound Dharma.
- Fire, snakes, enemies, and thunderbolts [can] only separate us
- from this life,
- but cannot take us to the utterly fearful states of [the hells] of
- direst pain.
