+ | |EnglishCommentary=It should be understood that a brief instruction on these four aspects P130a) [is given] in due order by the [following] four verses. | ||

+ | ::'''The great sounds of the drums in heaven''' | ||
+ | ::'''Do not reach the hearing of those dwelling on earth''', | ||
+ | ::'''But the sound of the drum of the perfect Buddha'''<ref>I follow Takasaki’s emendation of MB ''saṃbuddhabhūmer upayāti'' to ''saṃbuddhabherer upayāti'' (supported by the context and DP ''snags rgyas rnga sera''). J ''saṃbuddhatūryasya tu yāti'' makes no sense here.</ref> | ||
+ | ::'''Reaches [even] those in the lowest region of saṃsāra'''.<ref>I follow Schmithausen’s reading of MB ''saṃsārapātālagate tu'' against J ''saṃsārapātālagateṣu''.</ref> IV.37 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ::'''In heaven, the many myriads of divine cymbals''' | ||
+ | ::'''Sound [only] for the sake of kindling the flame of desire''', | ||
+ | ::'''But the single voice of those whose character is compassion''' | ||
+ | ::'''Manifests for the sake of pacifying the cause of the fire of suffering'''. IV.38 (J104) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ::'''The beautiful and pleasing sounds of the cymbals in heaven''' | ||
+ | ::'''Are the causes for increasing mind’s agitation''', | ||
+ | ::'''But the voice of the magnanimous tathāgatas''' | ||
+ | ::'''Encourages the intention of entrusting the mind to samādhi'''.<ref>With de Jong, I follow DP ''ting ’dzin sems gtod bsam pa skul byed nyid'', thus emending °bhāvavācakam to °bhāvacodakam. | ||
+ | </ref> IV.39 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ::'''In brief, what is the cause of happiness in [all]''' | ||
+ | ::'''Infinite worldly realms, the celestial and the earthly''', | ||
+ | ::'''Is stated with reference to this voice that appears''' | ||
+ | ::'''Pervasively in all worlds without exception'''. IV.40 | ||
+ | |||
+ | That the [Buddha] pervades all worldly realms in the ten directions without exception through assuming various physical forms indicates "the miraculous display of miraculous powers." (D124b) That he illuminates the impenetrable mental conduct of all the sentient beings who belong to these [worlds]<ref>I follow MB ''tatparyāpannasarvasattva''° against J ''tatparyāpannaṃ sarvasattva''° (DP ''de rtogs'' is a misspelling of ''de gtogs'').</ref> through his wisdom of [knowing all] ways of the mind is "the miraculous display of pointing out." That he gives instructions and directions about the path that is conducive to deliverance through the utterances of his voice is "the miraculous display of advice." | ||

Verse IV.37 Variations
संसारपातालगतेषु लोके संबुद्धतूर्यस्य तु याति शब्दः
saṃsārapātālagateṣu loke saṃbuddhatūryasya tu yāti śabdaḥ
།སར་གནས་རྣམས་ཀྱི་རྣར་མི་འགྲོ།
།སངས་རྒྱས་རྔ་སྒྲ་འཁོར་བ་ཡི།
།ས་འོག་འཇིག་རྟེན་དག་ཏུ་འགྲོ།
Do not reach the hearing of those dwelling on earth,
But the sound of the drum of the perfect Buddha
Reaches [even] those in the lowest region of saṃsāra.
- Dans le monde des dieux, le son puissant du tambour
- Ne tombe pas jusqu’aux oreilles des terriens.
- Le tambour de la voix d’un bouddha résonne
- Jusqu’aux mondes souterrains du saṃsāra.
