Other English translations[edit]

Obermiller (1931) [8]
In short, that which is the cause of bliss,
In all the regions of the world, the celestial and the earthly,
Is said to have its foundation in the unique voice
Which pervades the whole of the world without exception.
Takasaki (1966) [9]
In short, that which is the cause of bliss,
In heaven, on earth, as well as
In all the other numberless worlds,
Is the voice [of the Buddha] which manifests
Pervadingly in the world leaving no residue;
And in respect to those points, thus it is illustrated.
Fuchs (2000) [10]
Any cause of happiness for earthly beings and gods
in whichever sphere of the world without exception,
briefly spoken, fully depends upon this melody
that pervades all the worlds, not forsaking one.
