|EnglishCommentary=[In the fifth example,] the '''afflictions''' are like the '''ground''' below, while the tathāgata element resembles a '''treasure of jewels'''.
::'''Suppose there were an inexhaustible treasure'''
::'''Beneath the ground within the house of a poor person,'''
::'''But that person would not know about this [treasure],'''
::'''Nor would the treasure say to that [person], "I am here!"''' I.112
::'''Similarly, with the stainless treasure of jewels lodged within the mind,'''
::'''Whose nature is to be inconceivable and inexhaustible,'''
::'''Not being realized, beings continuously experience'''
::'''The suffering of being destitute in many ways. I.113'''
::'''Just as a treasure of jewels lodged inside the abode of a pauper would not say'''
::'''To this person, "I, the jewel treasure, am here!," nor would this person know about it,'''
::'''So the treasure of the dharma is lodged in the house of the mind, and sentient beings resemble the pauper. {P112a}'''
::'''It is in order to enable them to attain this [treasure] that the seer takes birth in the world. I.114'''

Verse I.112 Variations

यथा दरिद्रस्य नरस्य वेश्म-
न्यन्तः पृथिव्यां निधिरक्षयः स्यात्
विद्यान्न चैनं स नरो न चास्मि-
न्नेषोऽहमस्मीति वदेन्निधिस्तम्
yathā daridrasya narasya veśma-
nyantaḥ pṛthivyāṃ nidhirakṣayaḥ syāt
vidyānna cainaṃ sa naro na cāsmi-

།ཇི་ལྟར་མི་དབུལ་ཁྱིམ་ནང་ས་འོག་ན།
།མི་ཟད་པ་ཡི་གཏེར་ནི་ཡོད་གྱུར་ལ།
།མི་དེས་དེ་མ་ཤེས་ཏེ་གཏེར་དེ་ཡང་།
།དེ་ལ་ང་འདིར་ཡོད་ཅེས་མི་སྨྲ་ལྟར།
Dege, PHI, 118
Suppose there were an inexhaustible treasure
Beneath the ground within the house of a poor person,
But that person would not know about this [treasure],
Nor would the treasure say to that [person], "I am here!"
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 396 [2]
Sous la maison d’un pauvre

Est enfoui un trésor inépuisable. Le pauvre homme l’ignore et le trésor Ne lui dit pas où il se trouve.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [3]
Suppose in a poor man’s house, deep under the ground,
An inexhaustible treasure were concealed.
The man would know nothing about it,
And the treasure itself could not say to him
That it is to be found here in this place.
Takasaki (1966) [4]
Suppose there were an inexhaustible treasure
Under the ground within the house of a poor man;
However this man might not know about that treasure,
And the latter could not say to him 'I am here'; —
Fuchs (2000) [5]
If an inexhaustible treasure were buried
in the ground beneath a poor man's house,
the man would not know of it, and the treasure
would not speak and tell him "I am here!"
