Being born in [saṃsāric] existence is like a place for those without protection,
Impure sentient beings resemble the pregnant woman,
The stainless basic element in them is similar to her embryo,
And due to its existence, these [beings] do have a protector.
Impure sentient beings resemble the pregnant woman,
The stainless basic element in them is similar to her embryo,
And due to its existence, these [beings] do have a protector.
- L’asile pour les déshérités est une image
- de la naissance dans le saṃsāra
- Et la femme enceinte figure les êtres qui ne se sont pas purifiés.
- Ce qui est présent en elle assure sa protection ;
- Quant à l’Élément immaculé, il est comparable
- [au monarque] qu’elle porte en son sein.

Obermiller (1931) [7]
- The birth in this world is like the house without shelter,
- And the impure living beings are like that pregnant woman;
- The Immaculate Germ through which one is protected
- Is like (the king) abiding in the womb.
Takasaki (1966) [8]
- The generation of worldly existence is like an orphanage,
- Like a pregnant woman are the impure living beings,
- And the immaculate Essence in them is like that embryo,
- Owing to the existence of which, they become possessed of protection.
Fuchs (2000) [9]
- Birth in an existence is similar to the poorhouse.
- Impure beings are like the woman bearing [a king] in her womb.
- Since he is present within her, she has protection.
- The undefiled element is like [the king] who dwells in her womb.
