::'''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,

[In the second example,] the afflictions are like the insects {D107a} that are bees, while the tathāgata element resembles honey.

Verse I.100 Variations

विलोक्य तद्वत् सुगतः स्वधर्मता-
मवीचिसंस्थेष्वपि बुद्धचक्षुषा
विमोचयत्यावरणादनावृतो
ऽपरान्तकोटीस्थितकः कृपात्मकः
vilokya tadvat sugataḥ svadharmatā-
mavīcisaṃstheṣvapi buddhacakṣuṣā
vimocayatyāvaraṇādanāvṛto
'parāntakoṭīsthitakaḥ kṛpātmakaḥ
E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[1]
།དེ་བཞིན་བདེ་གཤེགས་མནར་མེད་གནས་རྣམས་ལའང་།
།སངས་རྒྱས་སྤྱན་གྱིས་རང་ཆོས་ཉིད་གཟིགས་ཏེ།
།སྒྲིབ་མེད་ཕྱི་མཐའི་མུར་གནས་ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཡི།
།བདག་ཅག་སྒྲིབ་པ་ལས་ནི་གྲོལ་བར་མཛད།
Similarly, the Sugata beholds his own true nature
With his buddha eye even in those who dwell in the Avīci [hell]
And thus, as the one who is unobscured, remains until the end of time,
And has the character of compassion, frees it from the obscurations.
De même, avec son œil de bouddha, le Bien-Allé voit aussi

Sa propre nature chez les êtres de l’enfer des Tourments Insurpassables. Compassion incarnée, libre des voiles, il restera jusqu’à la fin des temps Pour libérer les êtres des voiles qui les obscurcissent.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [3]
In the same way the Lord perceives with his sight of a Buddha
His own essence even in those that abide in the lowest of hells,
And, endowed with the uttermost Commiseration, free from impediments,
Delivers the living beings from the Obscurations.
Takasaki (1966) [4]
Similarly, the Lord, with his Buddha's eyes,
Perceives his own nature even in those who are in the lowest world
And, being immaculate, standing at the utmost limit and being full of Compassion
He releases them from the obscurations.
Fuchs (2000) [5]
Likewise the Sugata with his buddha eye perceives his own true state even in those
who must abide in the hell of direst pain.
Endowed with compassion itself, which is unobscured and endures to the final end,
he relieves them from their obscurations.
