The tathāgata element, which on the buddhabhūmi abides in its own absolutely stainless, pure, and luminous<ref>I follow MB °''prabhāsvarāyāṃ'' (DP '' ’od gsal ba'') against J °''prabhāsvaratāyāṃ''.</ref> nature, is not even born in the '''form of bodies of a mental nature because it is permanent''' in terms of its beginning in time. It does not even die by way of the death that is an inconceivable transformation because it is everlasting in terms of an end in time. {D103b} '''It does not''' even suffer from being seized by the ground of the '''latent tendencies''' of ignorance '''because it is peaceful''' in terms of a beginning and an end in time. Not befallen by what is meaningless, it does not even age through the transformation<ref>DP "maturation" (''yongs su smin pa'').</ref> that is the result of uncontaminated karma because it is eternal.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [6]
Being eternal, it is not subjected
Even to the origination peculiar to the non-physical body.
It knows no death, since it is stable,
And does not migrate in an inconceivable way.
Takasaki (1966) [7]
Being eternal, it is not born
Even with [the form of] the Body made of mind,
Being everlasting, it does not die
Even with the Inconceivable Transformation.
Fuchs (2000) [8]
It is not [even] born in a body of mental nature,
since it is permanent. Steadfast it does not die,
not [even] through the death and transmigration
that constitute an inconceivable transformation.
