Verse I.84 Variations

स धर्मकायः स तथागतो यत-
स्तदार्यसत्यं परमार्थनिर्वृतिः
अतो न बुद्धत्वमृतेऽर्करश्मिवद्
गुणाविनिर्भागतयास्ति निर्वृतिः
sa dharmakāyaḥ sa tathāgato yata-

E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[1]
གང་ཕྱིར་དེ་ནི་ཆོས་སྐུ་དེ་ནི་དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས། །
དེ་ནི་འཕགས་པའི་བདེན་པ་དོན་དམ་མྱ་ངན་འདས། །
དེ་ཕྱིར་ཉི་དང་ཟེར་བཞིན་ཡོན་ཏན་དབྱེར་མེད་པས། །
སངས་རྒྱས་ཉིད་ལས་མ་གཏོགས་མྱ་ངན་འདས་པ་མེད། །
Since it is the dharmakāya, the Tathāgata,
The reality of the noble ones, and the ultimate nirvāṇa,
There is no nirvāṇa apart from buddhahood
Due to its qualities’ being inseparable, just like the sun and its rays.
法身及如來 聖諦與涅槃
功德不相離 如光不離日
Voici le corps absolu, le tathāgata,

Les vérités des êtres sublimes et l’absolu nirvāṇa. Inséparable de ses qualités comme le soleil de ses rayons, Il n’est de nirvāṇa que la bouddhéité.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [4]
It is the Cosmical Body, it is the (Buddha),一one with the Absolute
It is the Highest Truth and point of saintliness, and it is Nirvāṇa,
Just as the sun and its rays, so are its properties, indivisible;
Therefore there is no Nirvāṇa apart from Buddhahood.
Takasaki (1966) [5]
It is the Absolute Body, it is the Tathāgata,
Also it is the Holy Truth, the Highest Nirvāṇa;
Therefore, being indivisible from qualities like the sun with its rays,
There is no Nirvāṇa, apart from the Buddhahood.
Fuchs (2000) [6]
Why is it the dharmakaya, the tathagata,
the noble truth, and the absolute nirvana?
Its qualities are inseparable, like the sun and its rays.
Thus other than buddhahood there is no nirvana.
