Just as the form of the Tathāgata made of a precious substance, wrapped in a foul-smelling garment,
And left on the road would be seen by someone with the divine eye and shown to people in order to set it free,
So the basic element wrapped in the filthy garment of the afflictions and left on the road of saṃsāra
Is seen by the victor even in animals, upon which he teaches the dharma for the sake of liberating it.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 398 [2]

Le dieu qui, de son œil divin, aperçoit sur la route

une statue du Bouddha toute en matières précieuses enveloppée dans de puants haillons La montre aux passants pour qu’ils l’en délivrent.


De même, lorsqu’il voit sur les chemins du saṃsāra, jusques et y compris chez les animaux, l’Élément enfoui sous les guenilles des affections, Le Vainqueur enseigne le Dharma pour le libérer.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [6]
As the precious image of the Buddha covered by a foul-smelling garment
Is seen by a god with divine vision who shows it to men in order to release it,
In the same way the Lord perceives, even in the beasts,
The Germ covered by the tattered garment of defilement
And abiding on the path of worldly existence,—
And expounds his Doctrine in order to deliver it.
Takasaki (1966) [7]
Just as a god with divine eyes, seeing the Buddha's image
Wrapped in a bad-smelling garment, and rejected on the road,
Would show it to the people in order to retrieve it;
In the same way the Lord, perceiving even among animals,
The Essence [of the Buddha] thrown on the road of transmigration,
With the covering of the tattered garment of Defilements,
Taught the Doctrine for the sake of its deliverance.
Fuchs (2000) [8]
When his eye perceives the statue of the Tathagata, which is of precious nature
but wrapped in a stinking rag and lying by the road, the god points
it out to passersby, so that they retrieve it.
Likewise the Victor sees that the element, wrapped in the tattered
garments of the poisons and lying on samsara's road,
is present even within animals, and teaches the Dharma so that it may be released.
