|EnglishCommentary=[In the first example,] the '''stains''' are like '''the sheath of a''' decaying lotus, while the tathāgata element resembles a '''buddha''' [within].<ref>In the ''Tathāgatagarbhasūtra'', this example occurs twice. The introduction of the sūtra describes in detail how the Buddha miraculously manifests in the sky thousands of fragrant opened lotus flowers with buddhas sitting upon them, emitting light. These lotuses blossom and fade at the same time, exuding a foul smell, but the buddhas still remain within them without a stain. In the sūtra’s section of the nine examples proper, this example is presented as it is here in the ''Uttaratantra''.

Verse I.99 Variations
तथागतं दीप्तसहस्रलक्षणम्
नरः समीक्ष्यामलदिव्यलोचनो
विमोचयेदम्बुजपत्त्रकोशतः
tathāgataṃ dīptasahasralakṣaṇam
naraḥ samīkṣyāmaladivyalocano
vimocayedambujapattrakośataḥ
།མཚན་སྟོང་གིས་འབར་དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པ་ནི།
།དྲི་མེད་ལྷ་ཡི་མིག་ལྡན་མིས་མཐོང་ནས།
།ཆུ་སྐྱེས་འདབ་མའི་སྦུབས་ནས་འབྱིན་བྱེད་པ།
A tathāgata shining with a thousand marks,
Dwelling enclosed in a fading lotus,
And thus would free him from the sheath of the lotus petals.
Un tathāgata rayonnant de mille marques. Un homme qui a purifié l’œil divin le voit Et l’extrait de la corolle fanée du lotus.

Obermiller (1931) [4]
- Suppose, in a lotus flower of ugly form,
- The Buddha, shining with a thousand marks of beauty, were abiding,
- And a man possessed of immaculate divine sight would perceive him
- And draw him out from the petals of the water-born lotus;
Takasaki (1966) [5]
- Suppose the Buddha, shining with a thousand marks [of virtue],
- Were abiding in the inside a faded lotus flower,
- And a man of immaculate divine sight would perceive him
- And release him from the sheath of petals of lotus; —
Fuchs (2000) [6]
- Seeing that in the calyx of an ugly-colored lotus
- a tathagata dwells ablaze with a thousand marks,
- a man endowed with the immaculate divine vision
- takes it from the shroud of the water-born's petals.

- In the Tathāgatagarbhasūtra, this example occurs twice. The introduction of the sūtra describes in detail how the Buddha miraculously manifests in the sky thousands of fragrant opened lotus flowers with buddhas sitting upon them, emitting light. These lotuses blossom and fade at the same time, exuding a foul smell, but the buddhas still remain within them without a stain. In the sūtra’s section of the nine examples proper, this example is presented as it is here in the Uttaratantra.
