Having churned the entire [ocean-like mahā]yāna, which contains the jewels of the host of supreme qualities and the water of wisdom,
And having seen buddhahood, which is like the vast sky without middle and end pervaded by the sun rays of merit and wisdom,
[Existing] as a treasure of stainless qualities in all sentient beings without difference,
The wind-like compassion of the victors blows away the web of the clouds of afflictive and cognitive [obscurations].
Riche de tous les joyaux les plus précieux, les qualités,

l’océan de la sagesse primordiale scintille au soleil des mérites et de la sagesse ; C’est l’accomplissement définitif de tous les véhicules, une immensité dépourvue de centre et de périphérie, omniprésente comme l’espace. La bouddhéité, trésor des qualités immaculées, apparaît alors dans tous les êtres, sans différence entre eux, Tandis que se lève le vent de la compassion des bouddhas qui déchirera le filet des nuages tissé par les voiles émotionnel et cognitif.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [10]
The ocean of Wisdom bearing the most precious jewels—his
sublime properties,
Endowed with the light of the sun
Of Virtue and of Highest Wisdom,
Realizing the Paths of all the Vehicles,
Having neither middle nor end,
Extensive and all-pervading like space,—
The Buddha perceives the treasury
Of immaculate virtues in all that lives,
And, by the wind of his Divine Commiseration,
Disperses that web of clouds,—the Obscurations of Defilement
and of Ignorance.
Takasaki (1966) [11]
Having completely established the Vehicle,
The ocean of knowledge filled with the multitudes of the excellent virtues,
And endowed with the rays of the sun of Merits and Knowledge,
And having perceived that Buddhahood, like space,
Pervading extensively and of neither limit nor middle,
Exists everywhere in all living beings,
As the treasure of the immaculate virtues,
The Buddhas' Compassion, like wind,
Blows away the net of the cloud-like [Obscurations]
Caused by Defilements and Ignorance.
Fuchs (2000) [12]
Having multitudes of supremely precious qualities and the waters
of the ocean of primordial wisdom, possessing the sunlight of
merit and wisdom,
it is the definitive accomplishment of all vehicles without exception.
[Enlightenment] is vast, without middle or end, and thus allpervasive
like space.
Fully seeing that buddhahood, the treasure of the unpolluted
qualities, is [present] within all sentient beings without the
slightest distinction,
the wind of the Buddhas' sublime compassion totally dispels the
clouds of afflictions and hindrances to knowledge, which have
spun their net about it.

  4. I follow VT (fol. 15v7) apratipraśrabhi° (also suggested by Schmithausen in accordance with J99.16 and J99.21) against J apraśrabdhi°. The same goes for °apratipraśrabdhaṃ against J ° apraśrabdhaṃ (MB aprapra° and °apart°, respectively).
  5. Skt. sattvadhātu is taken by most commentaries as "constitutions of sentient beings" (C also has "constitution"in IV.4a). However, as GC (528.4–5) points out, "the actual object of buddha activity is the stained tathāgata heart of those to be guided." See also IV.10cd, which comments on IV.2c, saying that the basic element in all sentient beings is like a treasure seen by the buddhas.
  6. I follow MB and VT (fol. 15v7) nirmathya against J niṣpādya (referring to niryāṇam in IV.5; Schmithausen suggests niryāya). DP read "accomplished" (bsgrubs te).
  7. See the explanation in IV.9. However, VT (fol. 15v7) glosses "yāna" as "the three yānas."
  8. I follow VT (fol. 16r1) °ratnāmbugarbhaṃ, which is also Schmithausen’s reading of MB and supported by DP chi mtsho, against J °ratnasvagarbhaṃ. Note that DP yon tan rin chen mchog tshogs does not accord with the position of ratna in that compound and moreover contradicts the explanation of the proper order of this compound in IV.9.
  9. DP split the long compound puṇya . . . ābham after °raśmi and wrongly relate "the sun rays of merit and wisdom"to "yāna,"while reading "like the vast [all-]pervasive sky without middle and end."My translation follows de Jong and C.
