Dege, PHI, 131
He engages in the three actions with regard to objects that are preceded by omniscience,
And the operation of his vast wisdom is always unobstructed with regard to the three times.
Thus is this state of the victor, which is endowed with great compassion and realized by the victors.
By virtue of this realization, he fearlessly turns the great wheel of the genuine dharma in the world.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 432 [3]
Les actes de son corps, de sa parole et de son esprit

sont tous précédés et suivis par la sagesse primordiale, Tandis que son immense sagesse opère toujours dans les trois temps sans jamais rencontrer d’obstacles. Fort de cette réalisation, il ne craint pas de faire tourner la grande roue du vrai Dharma pour le bien des êtres. Cette victoire dotée de grande compassion voilà ce que les bouddhas ont trouvé.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [11]
He makes manifest the 3 kinds of acts
Which are preceded by Transcendental Knowledge,
And of the Knowledge great, extensive and certain,
Regarding present, past and future.
The position of the Lord who, possessed of these properties,
Free from fear, swings the Wheel of the Highest Doctrine
For the sake of all living beings
And is endowed with the Highest Commiseration,—
This is attained by the Buddha.
Takasaki (1966) [12]
He makes manifest on the objects the 3 kinds of acts,
Which are preceded by all kinds of knowledge,
And brings out the Wisdom, well extensive, without hindrance,
Constantly, throughout the 3 states of time;
Thus is Buddhahood, endowed with Great Compassion,
And perfectly realized by the Buddha;
And on account of this realization, he sets in motion in the world
The great wheel of the fearless Supreme Doctrine.
Fuchs (2000) [13]
His three activities are preceded [by primordial wisdom] and
display themselves in its likeness.
He manifests his vast definitive knowing, always unhindered in its
vision of the three times.
By such insight he is fearless and supremely turns the Great Wheel
of Pure Dharma for beings.
Endowment with great compassion and quintessence of victory are
what all buddhas will find.

  4. VT (fol. 15v5) glosses "without examination" as "ignorance" and "liberation" as "liberation from the afflictions."
  5. VT (fol. 15v5–6) glosses "actions" as those of body, speech, and mind.
  6. VT (fol. 15v6) glosses "others" as love and so on."
  7. Against J citte na saṃbhedataḥ, I follow VT (fol. 15v6) citteṅkhanaṃ bhedataḥ (corresponding to DP thugs g.yo tha dad), which is glossed as "unsteadiness of mind, meaning the mind that is not in meditative equipoise." Schmithausen suggests cittehitaṃ bhedataḥ [MB °taṃ is clear, while the preceding akṣara is illegible], which is similar in meaning.
  8. DP omit "vision" (°nidarśanāc) and say "the wisdom of liberation that sees all objects to be known" (shes bya’i don kun gzigs pa’i grol ba’i ye shes).
  9. DP gang gi/gis (yasya/yena) instead of artheṣu.
