Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [4]
(The Essence of the Buddha) is like the Great Ocean
Being the inexhaustible repository of jewels—its sublime properties;
It is (moreover) like a light, since, by its nature
It is endowed with properties indivisible (from it).
Takasaki (1966) [5]
Being the inexhaustible storage of jewels of immeasurable virtues,
[The Germ of the Buddha is] like the Ocean;
It is akin to the lantern, because of its nature of
Being endowed with properties indivisible [from it].
Fuchs (2000) [6]
Like the great sea it holds qualities
immeasurable, precious, and inexhaustible.
Its essence holds indivisible properties.
Thus [the element] is similar to a lamp.

  3. The translation follows Schmithausen’s suggestion to understand °guṇayuktasvbhāvataḥ as a predicative ablative that qualifies "disposition of the victors" (jinagarbhaḥ) in I.45c. Takasaki 1966a (400ff.) already pointed out that verses I.30, 35, 42, and 45, though interrupted by several commentarial verses, are to be considered as a unit, with jinagarbhaḥ in I.45c being the subject that is common to all four verses. As mentioned above, the six topics of nature, cause, fruition, function, endowment, and manifestation in these four verses are described in a similar way in verses IX.56–59 of the Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkāra (which are also found as concluding verses in the Buddhabhūmisūtra), where they pertain to the purity of the dharmadhātu as the common subject. As for Takasaki’s different rendering of I.42cd ("because of its nature of being endowed with properties indivisible [from it]"), it seems to correspond exactly to DP dbyer med yon tan dang ldan pa’i / ngo bo nyid phyir.
