Obermiller (1931) [6]
- But the Spiritual Essence is like space,
- Being uncaused and unconditioned;
- It is devoid of the complex (of producing factors)
- And knows no birth, destruction, and (temporary) stability.[7]
Takasaki (1966) [8]
- The Innate Mind is like space,
- Being of no cause or condition,
- Or complex [of producing factors],
- It has neither origination nor destruction,
- Nor even stability [between two points].
Holmes (1985) [9]
- The nature of mind is like the space element:
- it has neither causes, nor conditions
- nor these in any combination,
- nor any arising, destruction or abiding.
Holmes (1999) [10]
- The nature of mind is like the space element:
- it has neither causes nor conditions
- nor these in combination,
- nor arising, abiding or destruction.
Fuchs (2000) [11]
- The nature of mind as the element of space
- does not [depend upon] causes or conditions,
- nor does it [depend on] a gathering of these.
- It has neither arising, cessation, nor abiding.

- This refers to the ancient Indian cosmological model of worlds arising in space due to the four elemental spheres of wind, fire, water, and earth being stacked up in that order and thus supporting the upper spheres. As VT (fol. 13r1) confirms, the element of fire is not mentioned among the four elements in this text because fire is used to illustrate sickness, aging, and death, which destroy one’s prior state of existence.
- Here, the text has indriya, which is always replaced by āyatana below.
- Given the example of space’s being completely unaffected by what arises and ceases in it, I follow DP’s negative before "afflicted" (the Sanskrit and C lack this negative).
