|EnglishCommentary=What is taught by the first half of this verse here? | |||
::'''By virtue of its nature of power''', | |||
::'''Being unchanging, and being moist''', | |||
::'''It resembles the qualities''' | |||
::'''Of a wish-fulfilling jewel, space, and water'''. I.31 | |||
Now, these three [points] were already mentioned above.<ref>Respectively, the three points of power, being unchanging, and being moist in I.31 refer back to the three aspects of the tathāgata heart that were taught in I.27–28—the dharmakāya’s radiating, the suchness of sentient beings and buddhas being undifferentiated, and the disposition existing in all beings.</ref> According to the order of these three, the tathāgata element should be understood to resemble the qualities of the purity of a '''wish-fulfilling jewel, space, and water''' in terms of its specific characteristics and its general characteristics. To begin with the dharmakāya of the Tathāgata here, in terms of its specific characteristic that is its '''nature of''' [having] the '''power''' to fulfill what one wishes for and so on, {D89a} it is to be understood as resembling a wishfulfilling jewel. As for suchness, in terms of its specific characteristic that is its nature of '''being unchanging''', it is to be understood as resembling space. As for the tathāgata disposition, in terms of its specific characteristic that is its nature of moistening sentient beings [through its] compassion, it is to be understood as resembling '''water'''. As for all [three points] here, in terms of the general characteristic [of the tathāgata element] that is its natural purity of always being absolutely '''unafflicted by nature''', it is to be understood as resembling the quality that is the [natural] purity of a wish-fulfilling jewel, space, and water. | |||

By virtue of its nature of power,
Being unchanging, and being moist,
It resembles the qualities
Of a wish-fulfilling jewel, space, and water.
Being unchanging, and being moist,
It resembles the qualities
Of a wish-fulfilling jewel, space, and water.
Comme elle est puissante, immuable,
Et de nature humide, Elle est analogue Au précieux joyau, à l’espace et à l’eau.
