Obermiller (1931) [9]
- Such is the meaning of all these examples,
- And such the order (in which they are given);
- However the subject has not been discussed
- With regard to the dissimilarity that exists
- Between the examples and the topics expressed by them.
Takasaki (1966) [10]
- This is the summarized meaning of similes
- And this very order is told in order to show
- That the dissimilarity of the former example
- [With the Buddha] is removed by the latter one.
Fuchs (2000) [11]
- The condensed meaning of the examples is [contained] herein.
- Their order is also [not arbitrary], as they are abandoned such
- that properties not in tune are eliminated
- [progressing] from the former to the latter.
