Ratnagotravibhāga Root Verse V.24

Verse V.24 Variations

योऽभीक्ष्णं प्रतिसेव्य पापसुहृदः स्याद्वुद्धदुष्टाशयो
मातापित्ररिहद्वधाचरणकृत् संघाग्रभेत्ता नरः
स्यात्तस्यापि ततो विमुक्तिरचिरं धर्मार्थनिध्यानतो
धर्मे यस्य तु मानसं प्रतिहतं तस्मै विमुक्तिः कुतः
E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[1]
yo'bhīkṣṇaṃ pratisevya pāpasuhṛdaḥ syādvuddhaduṣṭāśayo
mātāpitrarihadvadhācaraṇakṛt saṃghāgrabhettā naraḥ
syāttasyāpi tato vimuktiraciraṃ dharmārthanidhyānato
dharme yasya tu mānasaṃ pratihataṃ tasmai vimuktiḥ kutaḥ
E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[2]
།གང་ཞིག་ཡང་ཡང་སྡིག་གྲོགས་བསྟེན་པས་སངས་རྒྱས་ངན་སེམས་ལྡན་གྱུར་དང་།
།ཕ་མ་དགྲ་བཅོམ་གསོད་པར་བྱ་བ་མིན་བྱེད་མཆོག་ཚོགས་འབྱེད་པའི་མི།
།དེ་ཡང་ཆོས་ཉིད་ངེས་པར་བསམས་ན་མྱུར་དུ་དེ་ལས་ཐར་འགྱུར་གྱི།
།གང་ཞིག་ཡིད་ནི་ཆོས་ལ་སྡང་བ་དེ་ལ་ཐར་པ་ག་ལ་ཡོད།
Even persons who, repeatedly relying on bad friends, [injured] a buddha with bad intention,
Committed the acts of killing their mother, father, or an arhat, or split the highest community
Will be swiftly liberated from these [actions] through being absorbed in the meaning of the dharma,
But how could there be liberation in those whose minds are hostile toward the dharma?
L’individu qui, influencé par ses fréquentations malsaines,
a eu de mauvaises pensées à l’endroit du Bouddha,
A commis l’inadmissible en tuant son père, sa mère ou un arhat,
et qui crée un schisme dans l’assemblée suprême,
Celui-là aussi s’affranchira vite de ces [crimes]
dès lors qu’il réfléchira vraiment à l’essence du réel.
Mais comment se libérera celui qui hait le Dharma ?

RGVV Commentary on Verse V.24

།ཉམས་པའི་འབྲས་བུ་ལས་བརྩམས་ཏེ་ཚིགས་སུ་བཅད་པ། ཇི་ལྟར་ཟབ་མོའི་ཆོས་རྣམས་དེ་བཞིན་མཁས་པ་རྣམས་ཀྱིས་མེ་དང་ནི། །མི་བཟད་སྦྲུལ་གདུག་གཤེད་

མ་དང་ནི་ཐོག་ལའང་ཤིན་ཏུ་འཇིགས་མི་བྱ། །མེ་སྦྲུལ་དགྲ་དང་རྡོ་རྗེའི་མེས་ནི་སྲོག་དང་བྲལ་བ་ཙམ་བྱེད་དེ། །དེ་ལས་མནར་མེད་རྣམས་ཀྱི་འགྲོ་བ་ཤིན་ཏུ་འཇིགས་པར་འགྲོ་མི་འགྱུར། །གང་ཞིག་ཡང་ཡང་སྡིག་གྲོགས་བསྟེན་པས་སངས་རྒྱས་ངན་སེམས་ལྡན་གྱུར་དང་། །ཕ་མ་དགྲ་བཅོམ་གསོད་{br}པ་བྱ་བ་མིན་བྱེད་མཆོག་ཚོགས་འབྱེད་པའི་མི། །དེ་ཡང་ཆོས་ཉིད་ངེས་པར་བསམས་པས་མྱུར་དུ་དེ་ལས་ཐར་འགྱུར་གྱི། །གང་ཞིག་ཡིད་ནི་ཆོས་ལ་སྡང་བ་དེ་ལ་ཐར་པ་ག་ལ་ཡོད།
