Verse IV.72 Variations
निर्विकल्पम् अनाभोगं नाध्यात्मं न बहिः स्थितम्
nirvikalpam anābhogaṃ nādhyātmaṃ na bahiḥ sthitam
གཞན་གྱི་རྣམ་རིག་ལས་བྱུང་བ། །
རྣམ་པར་རྟོག་མེད་བཟོ་མེད་ཅིང་། །
ཕྱི་དང་ནང་ན་གནས་མ་ཡིན། །
Arises in the cognizance of others,
Is without thought, effortless,
And abides neither inside nor outside.
Qui jaillit de la perception des êtres, N’a pas de pensées, n’est pas fabriquée Et ne se tient pas plus dedans que dehors.

Obermiller (1931) [6]
- Similar to it is the voice of the Buddha.
- It arises through the intimations of others,
- Is devoid of searching thought, is inconceivable,
- And has no real foundation, neither within, nor without.
Takasaki (1966) [7]
- In a similar way, the voice of the Buddha
- Arising through the voice of others
- Is of no discrimination and of no effort,
- And has no foundation, either inside or outside.
Fuchs (2000) [8]
- so the speech of the Tathagata arises
- due to the perception of others,
- without thought or purposeful labor
- and neither abiding without or within.
