Listed by date of publication
Obermiller (1931) [4]
They appear rarely, they are immaculate,
Are powerful, are an ornament of this world,
Are the highest (point of excellence), and cannot change,—
Therefore they have the character of jewels.
Takasaki (1966) [5]
[They are called] ' Jewels ', because
Their appearance is difficult to obtain,
They are immaculate and powerful,
And because of their being the ornament of the world,
And being the highest and unchangeable.
Holmes (1985) [6]
'Rare and supreme' because of being
a most rare occurrence, stainless,
powerful, the ornament of the world,
the best possible thing and changeless.
Holmes (1999) [7]
Rare and Supreme' because their occurrence is most rare,
they are stainless, powerful, the ornament of the world,
the best possible thing and changeless.
Fuchs (2000) [8]
Their occurence is rare, they are free from defilement,
they possess power, they are the adornment of the world,
they are sublime, and they are unchanging.
Thus [they are named] "rare and sublime."
