Obermiller (1931) [10]
- But, without Highest Wisdom, all the other virtues
- Are not possessed of the factors for removing (both) the Obscurations.
- Therefore Highest Wisdom is superior (to all),
- And, as the source of it is study (of the Doctrine),
- It is this study which is most important.
Takasaki (1966) [11]
- But, without the Highest Intellect,
- The other 5 cannot be the cause of their removal;
- Therefore, the Highest Intellect is the supreme one of all,
- And, as the source of it is the study [of this Doctrine],
- It is this study that is the most important.
Fuchs (2000) [12]
- Since apart from discriminative wisdom
- there is no other cause to remove these [veils],
- this discriminative wisdom is supreme.
- Its ground being study, such study is supreme.
