Verse III.14 Variations

नास्ति प्रस्खलितं रवो मुषितता चित्ते न संभेदतः
संज्ञा न स्वरसाध्युपेक्षणमृषेर्हानिर्न च च्छन्दतः
वीर्याच्च स्मृतितो विशुद्धविमलप्रज्ञाविमुक्तेः सदा
मुक्ति ज्ञाननिर्दशनाच्च निखिलज्ञेयार्थसंदर्शनात्
E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[1]
nāsti praskhalitaṃ ravo muṣitatā citte na saṃbhedataḥ
saṃjñā na svarasādhyupekṣaṇamṛṣerhānirna ca cchandataḥ
vīryācca smṛtito viśuddhavimalaprajñāvimukteḥ sadā
mukti jñānanirdaśanācca nikhilajñeyārthasaṃdarśanāt
E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[2]
།འཁྲུལ་དང་ཅ་ཅོ་བསྙེལ་དང་ཐུགས་གཡོ་ཐ་དད་ཀྱི་ནི་འདུ་ཤེས་དང་།
།ངང་གི་བཏང་སྙོམས་དྲང་སྲོང་ལ་མེད་འདུན་པ་དང་ནི་བརྩོན་འགྲུས་དང་།
།དྲན་པ་རྣམ་དག་དྲི་མེད་ཤེས་རབ་རྟག་ཏུ་རྣམ་པར་གྲོལ་བ་དང་།
།ཤེས་བྱའི་དོན་ཀུན་གཟིགས་པ་གྲོལ་བའི་ཡེ་ཤེས་ལས་ནི་ཉམས་མི་ང་།
Dege, PHI, 131
The seer lacks mistakenness, chatter, mindlessness, mental agitation,
Notions of difference, and natural indifference, while there is never any deterioration
Of his striving, vigor, mindfulness, pure stainless prajñā and liberation,
And vision of the wisdom of liberation (seeing all objects to be known).
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 431 [3]
Erreurs, bavardages, oubli, dispersion, perceptions toutes différentes
Et indifférence naturelle : rien de cela n’affecte le Sage.
Ses aspirations, son ardeur, son attention, sa connaissance
parfaitement pure et immaculée, sa liberté perpétuelle
Et sa libre sagesse qui voit tous les phénomènes ignorent le déclin.

Other English translations[edit]

Obermiller (1931) [11]
Error, unmelodious speech, forgetfulness,

A distracted mind, a pluralistic outlook, And ill-considered indifference—these do not exist with the Sage； He is not deprived of zeal, of energy, Of pure, immaculate Wisdom, Of eternal freedom (from all the bonds), And of the intuition of one who has attained this freedom, And the perception of the true essence of all things.

Takasaki (1966) [12]
The Sage has neither error nor rough speech,
Neither loses [his memory] nor distracts his mind,
Has neither pluralistic views nor indifference to one's own taste,
He is never deprived of his zeal, effort and memory,
Of pure, immaculate Intellect and Liberation,
Of the intuition of freedom and of showing all things knowable; —
Fuchs (2000) [13]
Delusion, idle talk, forgetfulness, mental agitation, ideation of
duality, and indifferent equanimity:
the Sage does not have any of these. His aspiration, diligence, and
mindfulness,
his utterly pure and unstained discriminative wisdom, his constant
total release,
and his primordial wisdom of liberation seeing all fields of the
knowable do not suffer any impairment.

  4. VT (fol. 15v5) glosses "without examination" as "ignorance" and "liberation" as "liberation from the afflictions."
  5. VT (fol. 15v5–6) glosses "actions" as those of body, speech, and mind.
  6. VT (fol. 15v6) glosses "others" as love and so on."
  7. Against J citte na saṃbhedataḥ, I follow VT (fol. 15v6) citteṅkhanaṃ bhedataḥ (corresponding to DP thugs g.yo tha dad), which is glossed as "unsteadiness of mind, meaning the mind that is not in meditative equipoise." Schmithausen suggests cittehitaṃ bhedataḥ [MB °taṃ is clear, while the preceding akṣara is illegible], which is similar in meaning.
  8. DP omit "vision" (°nidarśanāc) and say "the wisdom of liberation that sees all objects to be known" (shes bya’i don kun gzigs pa’i grol ba’i ye shes).
  9. DP gang gi/gis (yasya/yena) instead of artheṣu.
