Ratnagotravibhāga Root Verse I.101

Verse I.101 Variations

यद्वत् स्याद्विजुगुप्सितं जलरुहं संमिञ्जि तं दिव्यदृक् तद्‍गर्भस्थितमभ्युदीक्ष्य सुगतं पत्राणि संछेदयेत्
रागद्वेषमलादिकोशनिवृतं संबुद्धगर्भं जगत्
कारुण्यादवलोक्य तन्निवरणं निर्हन्ति तद्वन्मुनिः
yadvat syādvijugupsitaṃ jalaruhaṃ saṃmiñji taṃ divyadṛk tadgarbhasthitamabhyudīkṣya sugataṃ patrāṇi saṃchedayet
rāgadveṣamalādikośanivṛtaṃ saṃbuddhagarbhaṃ jagat
kāruṇyādavalokya tannivaraṇaṃ nirhanti tadvanmuniḥ
E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[1]
།ཇི་ལྟར་མི་སྡུག་པདྨ་ཟུམ་ལ་བདེ་བར་གཤེགས་པ་ནི།
།དེ་ཡི་ཁོང་གནས་ལྷ་མིག་མཐོང་ནས་འདབ་མ་གཅོད་བྱེད་ལྟར།
།ཆགས་སྡང་སོགས་དྲི་སྦུབས་བསྒྲིབས་རྫོགས་སངས་སྙིང་པོ་འགྲོ་གཟིགས་ཏེ།
།ཐུགས་རྗེས་ཐུབ་པ་དེ་བཞིན་སྒྲིབ་པ་དེ་ནི་འཇོམས་པར་མཛད།
Just as someone with the divine eye would perceive an ugly shriveled lotus
And a sugata dwelling enclosed in it, thus cutting apart its petals,
So the sage beholds the buddha heart obscured by the sheaths of the stains such as desire and hatred,
Thus annihilating its obscurations out of his compassion for the world.
L’œil divin qui voit un bouddha enfermé dans un lotus immonde

Arrache les pétales de la fleur. De même, le sage qui voit dans chaque être la quintessence des parfaits bouddhas enfermée dans les souillures de l’attachement, de la haine et des autres poisons Élimine ces voiles par compassion.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [3]
Just as a person possessed of divine sight
Sees in an ugly lotus flower with folded leaves
The Buddha who abides in its interior,
And rends asunder the petals (in order to release him).
In the same way the Lord perceives the Essence of the Supreme Buddha
Existing in all that lives, but obscured by lust, hatred and other coverings of defilement,
And, full of mercy, vanquishes these Obscurations.
Takasaki (1966) [4]
Just as a person of divine sight perceives
A faded and ugly lotus flower and the Buddha within it,
And rends asunder the petals [in order to draw him out];
In the same way, the Lord perceives the world,
The Matrix of the Buddha, covered with the sheath of stains, Desire, Hatred, etc.,
And kills its Obscurations because of Compassion.
Fuchs (2000) [5]
Once his divine eye sees the Sugata abiding within the closed ugly lotus,
the man cuts the petals. Seeing the perfect buddha nature within beings,
obscured by the shroud of desire, hatred, and the other mental poisons,
the Muni does likewise and through his compassion defeats all their veils.
