|EnglishCommentary=[In the third example,] the '''afflictions''' are like the outer '''husks''', while the tathāgata element resembles the inner '''kernel'''.
::'''The kernel in grains united with its husks'''
::'''[Can]not be eaten by people, {J62}'''
::'''But those wanting food and so on'''
::'''Extract it from its husks.''' I.105
::'''Similarly, the state of a victor in sentient beings,'''
::'''Which is obscured by the stains of the afflictions,'''
::'''Does not perform the activity of a perfect buddha in the three existences'''
::'''For as long as it is not liberated from the afflictions added on [to it].'''I.106
::'''Just as the kernels in grains such as corn, rice, millet, and barley, not extracted from their husks,'''
::'''Still awned, and not prepared well, will not serve as delicious edibles for people, {P111b}'''
::'''So the lord of dharma in sentient beings, whose body is not released from the husks of the afflictions,'''
::'''Will not grant the pleasant flavor of the dharma to the people pained by the hunger of the afflictions.''' I.107

།ཇི་ལྟར་སཱ་ལུ་བྲ་བོ་ནས་འབྲུའི་སྙིང་པོ་སྦུན་ལས་མ་བྱུང་གྲ་མ་ཅན།
།ལེགས་པར་མ་བསྒྲུབས་མི་རྣམས་ཀྱིས་ནི་སྤྱད་བྱ་བཟའ་བ་ཞིམ་པོར་མི་འགྱུར་ལྟར།
།དེ་བཞིན་སེམས་ཅན་ལ་ཡོད་ཆོས་ཀྱི་དབང་ཕྱུག་ཉོན་མོངས་སྦུབས་ལས་མ་གྲོལ་ལུས།
།ཉོན་མོངས་བཀྲེས་པས་ཉེན་པའི་འགྲོ་ལ་ཆོས་ཀྱི་དགའ་བའི་རོ་སྟེར་འགྱུར་བ་མིན།
Just as the kernels in grains such as corn, rice, millet, and barley, not extracted from their husks,
Still awned, and not prepared well, will not serve as delicious edibles for people,
So the lord of dharma in sentient beings, whose body is not released from the husks of the afflictions,
Will not grant the pleasant flavor of the dharma to the people pained by the hunger of the afflictions.
De même que les grains de riz, de blé noir ou d’orge

encore dans la balle, et avec leurs barbes, Ne peuvent rien donner de bon à manger s’ils ne sont pas bien préparés, Le seigneur des qualités, présent en chaque être, emprisonné toutefois dans la gangue des affections, Ne peut offrir la saveur des plaisirs du Dharma à des êtres tenaillés par la faim des affections.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [3]
The kernel of a grain of rice, of buckwheat or barley, unextracted
from its husk and covered with bristles
And not duly prepared, cannot become sweat food enjoyed by man.
Similar is the Body of the Lord of the elements,
Existing in the living beings and undelivered from the coverings of defilement,
It does not grant to the living beings affected by the passions
The delightful flavour of the Truth.
Takasaki (1966) [4]
Just as the kernel of grains like rice, wheat, barley, etc.,
As long as it is unreleased from the husk and not cleaned well
Cannot be the sweet edible for the people;
Similarly, the religious king residing in the living beings,
Having his feature unreleased from the husk of Defilements,
Does not become one who can grant the pleasurable taste of the Doctrine,
To the people who are afflicted by the hunger of Defilements.
Fuchs (2000) [5]
Unthreshed grains of rice, buckwheat, or barley, which not having emerged from their husks
still have husk and beard, cannot be turned into delicious food that is palatable for man.
Likewise the Lord of Qualities is present within all beings, but his
body is not liberated from the shroud of the poisons.
Thus his body cannot bestow the joyous taste of Dharma upon
sentient beings stricken by the famine of their afflictions.
