Et rien ne peut lui faire obstacle. Libre du double [obstacle] et infiniment souple, Il n’a plus de contacts grossiers.

Through the complete removal of the Obscuration of Ignorance,
It is free from impediments regarding everything (cognizable),
And devoid of both (languor and distraction), and duly purified,
It is free from every rough sensation.

Being purified from all the obstructions of Ignorance,
It 'has no hindrance' in regard to everything [knowable];
Being of soft and light-moving nature,
It is 'devoid of rough sensation'.
Fuchs (2000) [9]
Since the veil of the hindrances to knowledge is cleansed,
it is in all ways unobstructed [with regard to complete insight].
