Obermiller (1931) [19]
- Having by nature no beginning,
- Middle, nor end, (the Buddha) is immutable.
- Being, in his Cosmical Essence, quiescent,
- He is spoken of as acting without effort.
Takasaki (1966) [20]
- As having neither beginning, middle nor end by nature,
- It is immutable;
- Being the body of quiet character,
- It is free from any effort, — thus remembered by tradition
Fuchs (2000) [21]
- Its nature is without beginning, middle, or end;
- hence [the state of a buddha] is uncreated.
- Since it possesses the peaceful dharmakaya,
- it is described as being "spontaneously present."

- J upaśamaprabhedapradeśa (DP nye bar zhi ba’i tshig gi rab tu dbye ba). According to Sarvabuddhaviśayāvatārajñānālokālaṃkārasūtra, D100, the difference between śama and upaśama is that the realization of phenomena’s not really existing results in the mind’s being free from clinging to them.
- J aśuddham avimalaṃ sāṅganam (DP ma dag pa dri ma dang bral ba skyon dang bcas pa).

- With Takasaki, J abhāvasvabhāvāt is emended to abhāvasvabhāvān.
- See the text below (J29.1ff.) for an explanation of which sentient beings belong to which of these three groups.
