Other English translations[edit]

Obermiller (1931) [8]
That which, referring exclusively to the Teaching of the Lord,
Is an explanation (of this Teaching) by one
Whose mind is completely free from distraction,
And agrees with the Path leading to Salvation
Is to be revered as if it were
The Word of the Great Sage himself.
Takasaki (1966) [9]
Whatever is spoken by those whose mind is not distracted
And who refer to the Lord as the only Preceptor,
And is favourable to the Path of the [2] Accumulations which lead to Emancipation,
That is also to be accepted with respect
As if it were taught by the Great Sage.
Fuchs (2000) [10]
Whatever someone has explained with undistracted mind,
exclusively in the light of the Victor's teaching,
and conducive to the path of attaining release,
one should place on one's head as the words of the Sage.
