གང་ཕྱིར་རྒྱ་མཚོ་ས་འོག་གནས་དེ་ལ་འདོད་པས། །
ཇི་ལྟར་ནོར་བུ་བཟང་པོ་འགྲོ་འདིར་རབ་རྙེད་དཀའ། །
དེ་བཞིན་འགྲོ་བ་ཤིན་ཏུ་སྐལ་ངན་ཉོན་མོངས་ཟིན། །
ཡིད་འདིར་བདེ་གཤེགས་མཐོང་བ་རྙེད་དཀར་ཤེས་པར་བྱ། །

Just as it is very hard in this world here to obtain a pure gem,
Be it located in the ocean or resting below the earth, which makes [people] yearn for it,
So the sight of a tathāgata should be understood as something not easily found
In the minds of very unsuitable beings who are in the grip of all kinds of afflictions.
Be it located in the ocean or resting below the earth, which makes [people] yearn for it,
So the sight of a tathāgata should be understood as something not easily found
In the minds of very unsuitable beings who are in the grip of all kinds of afflictions.
- De même que, pour qui le désire en ce monde,
- Il est difficile de trouver le bon Joyau dans l’océan ou sous la terre,
- Il faut de même savoir que, pour l’infortuné
- dont l’esprit est pris par les affections,
- La vision du Bouddha est chose difficile.

Obermiller (1931) [5]
- Just as precious jewels, concealed
- Under the ground or in the depths of the ocean,
- Are hard to be obtained here by those who are desirous of them;
- Similarly we know that with the living beings
- Who are unworthy and overpowered by the passions
- The perception of the Buddha by their mind
- Is exceedingly hard to be secured.
Takasaki (1966) [6]
- Here, in this world, it is quite rare
- To obtain the pure gem, even though the people so much
- Long for it in the depth of the ocean or under the ground;
- Similarly, the sight of Buddha should be known as
- Not easily achieved in this luckless world
- By those whose mind is afflicted by various passions.
Fuchs (2000) [7]
- The good jewel lying underground or in the ocean
- is very hard to find for beings wanting it.
- Likewise, one should understand that beings held in the grip of the poisons,
- and whose karmic gifts are poor, will hardly see the Sugata in their minds.
