Obermiller (1931) [10]
- Through the extirpation of even the non-physical elements
- And of their causes, it is the Supreme Bliss,
- And, through the intuition of the identity of Saṃsāra and Nirvāṇa,
- It is eternal (being free from the limits of both).[11]
Takasaki (1966) [12]
- He is blissful because the Mind-made Aggregate
- And its causes have been removed [completely];
- He is eternal because he has realized
- The equality of the Phenomenal Life and Nirvāṇa.
Holmes (1985) [13]
- It is happiness through the five aggregates',
- which are of a mental nature, and also their causes' demise.
- It is permanence since the sameness,
- of saṃsāra and nirvāṇa, has been realised.
Holmes (1999) [14]
- It is happiness through the demise of the five aggregates,
- which are of a mental nature, and their causes.
- It is permanence since the sameness
- of saṃsāra and nirvāṇa has been realised.
Fuchs (2000) [15]
- It is true happiness, since [even] the aggregates
- of mental nature and their causes are reversed.
- It is permanence, since the cycle of existence
- and the state beyond pain are realized as one.
