Verse II.8 Variations
सकल एव शशाङ्को राहुवक्त्राद्विमुक्तः
रविरिव जलदादिक्लेशनिर्मुक्तरश्मि-
र्विमलगुणयुतत्वाद्भाति मुक्तं तदेव
sakala eva śaśāṅko rāhuvaktrādvimuktaḥ
raviriva jaladādikleśanirmuktaraśmir
vimalaguṇayutatvādbhāti muktaṃ tadeva
སྒྲ་གཅན་ཁ་ནས་ཐར་བའི་ཟླ་བ་ཉ་བ་ལྟ་བུ་དང་། །
སྤྲིན་ཚོགས་ཉོན་མོངས་དག་ལས་གྲོལ་བའི་ཉི་མ་ལྟ་བུར་ནི། །
དྲི་མེད་ཡོན་ཏན་ལྡན་ཕྱིར་འོད་ཟེར་སྣང་ལྡན་དེ་ཉིད་དོ། །
Just as the full moon’s having been released from the mouth of Rāhu,
And just as the sun, with its rays’ having been liberated from the defilements of clouds and so on,
This very [buddhahood] appears as liberation because it is endowed with stainless qualities.
- Comme un lac aux eaux limpides qui peu à peu se couvrent de lotus ;
- Comme la pleine lune qui s’échappe de la gueule de Rāhu ;
- Comme le soleil qui se dégage de la nue des affections
- [L’Éveil] rayonne de lumières en raison de ses qualités immaculées.

Obermiller (1931) [7]
- Like a lake full of the purest water
- And covered by lotuses that have developed gradually,
- Like the full moon delivered from the jaws of Rāhu,
- Like the sun free from all obscuration
- Caused by the dense multitude of clouds,
- It is possessed of immaculate properties,
- Is radiant and illuminating.
Takasaki (1966) [8]
- Like a pond, filled with pure water,
- Becomes abundant with flowering lotus gradually,
- Like the full moon delivered from the jaws of Rāhu,
- Like the sun, whose rays have been released
- From the covering of clouds and others,
- This [Buddhahood], being endowed with pure properties,
- Manifests itself as being liberated.
Fuchs (2000) [9]
- Like a lake filled with unpolluted water gradually overspread by lotus flowers,
- like the full moon released from Rahu's mouth and the sun liberated from a sea of clouds,
- it is free from affliction. Being free from pollution and possessing qualities,
- [buddhahood] is endowed with the brilliant light rays [of correct and complete vision].

- I follow Schmithausen in reading MA as phullapadmadrumāḍhyaḥ (which also makes better sense) against J phullapadmakramāḍhyaḥ (MB very unclear) and DP rim rgyas padmas khebs pa.
- VT (fol. 14r3) glosses "this very" as "the mind free from duality" and "liberation" as "free from afflictions."
- DP mistakenly snang ldan (corresponding to bhātiyuktaṃ instead of bhāti muktaṃ), which is moreover immediately preceded by ’od zer (raśmi), thus reading "just as the sun’s having been liberated from the defilements of clouds and so on, this [buddhahood] possesses radiant light rays . . ."
