|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'''

यद्वद्रत्ननिधिर्दरिद्रभवनाभ्यन्तर्गतः स्यान्नरं

།ཇི་ལྟར་དབུལ་པོའི་ཁྱིམ་ནང་དུ་ནི་རིན་ཆེན་གཏེར་ཆུད་གྱུར་པའི་མི་ལ་ནི།
།རིན་ཆེན་གཏེར་བདག་ཡོད་ཅེས་རྗོད་པར་མི་བྱེད་དེ་ནི་མི་ཡིས་ཤེས་མིན་ལྟར།
།དེ་བཞིན་ཆོས་གཏེར་ཡིད་ཀྱི་ཁྱིམ་གནས་སེམས་ཅན་རྣམས་ནི་དབུལ་པོ་ལྟ་བུ་སྟེ།
།དེ་དག་རྣམས་ཀྱིས་དེ་ཐོབ་བྱ་ཕྱིར་འཇིག་རྟེན་དུ་ནི་དྲང་སྲོང་ཡང་དག་བསྟམས།
Dege, PHI, 118-119
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.
It is in order to enable them to attain this [treasure] that the seer takes birth in the world.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 397 [2]
Le trésor enfoui sous la maison du pauvre ne peut pas

Lui dire sa présence – que le malheureux continue d’ignorer. De même, le trésor du réel se cache dans la maison de l’esprit des êtres comme chez le pauvre homme, Et c’est bien pour qu’ils le trouvent que de vrais sages viennent au monde.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [3]
As a treasure of jewels concealed in a poor man's house
Does not make it known to that man,一
I, the treasure am here,一and the man does not know about it,一
Such is the treasure of the Highest Truth abiding in the dwelling place of the Spirit;
And the living beings possessed of it are like beggars;
In order to secure for them this treasure
The Sage makes his apparition in this world.
Takasaki (1966) [4]
Just as a treasure of jewels in the house of a poor man
Would not say to him 'I am here',
Nor the man could know 'here is a treasure of jewels';
Likewise is the treasure of properties dwelling in the house of the mind,
And the living beings are like a poor man;
To enable those people to obtain this treasure,
The Sage makes his appearance in the world.
Fuchs (2000) [5]
When a precious treasure is contained within [the ground beneath] a poor man's house,
the treasure cannot tell him "I am here!" [and] the man does not know of its presence.
Like the poor man, beings are [unaware] that Dharma's treasure lies in the house of their minds
and the great Sage truly takes birth within the world to cause them to attain [this treasure].
