།སྲིད་དང་མྱ་ངན་འདས་ལ་དེའི།
།སྡུག་བདེའི་སྐྱོན་ཡོན་མཐོང་བ་འདི།
།རིགས་ཡོད་ལས་ཡིན་གང་ཕྱིར་དེ།
།རིགས་མེད་དག་ལ་མེད་ཕྱིར་རོ།

Dege, PHI, 187

This seeing of the flaws of suffering and the qualities of happiness
In [saṃsāric] existence and nirvāṇa
Occurs [only] when the disposition exists
Because it does not occur in those without the disposition.

When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 368 ^[2]

Le fait de voir que le saṃsāra a pour défaut la souffrance

Et que le nirvāṇa a pour qualité le bonheur Est dû à la présence de la filiation spirituelle – Ce n’est pas le cas chez ceux qui en sont dépourvus.

Holmes (1985) ^[3]

Perception of suffering, saṃsāra 's fault,

and happiness, nirvāṇa's quality,

is due to the potential's presence.

Why should this be?

Without such potential

It will not be present.

Fuchs (2000) ^[4]

That with regard to existence and nirvana their respective fault and

quality are seen,

that suffering is seen as the fault of existence and happiness as the

quality of nirvana,

stems from the presence of the disposition to buddhahood. "Why so?"

In those who are devoid of disposition, such seeing does not occur.
