स्त्रीदुःखज्वलनाभितप्तपृथिवीधातुप्रकाशा मलाः

The foul-smelling garment, the body of a lowly woman, and the element of earth heated in a fire.
The supreme basic element has the stainless appearance of the buddha, the honey, the kernels, the gold, the treasure,
The nyagrodha tree, the precious image, the supreme lord of the world, and the precious statue.
la terre, le fruit et les haillons, De même que la femme tourmentée par les flammes de la souffrance et l’argile, représentent les souillures, Tandis que le bouddha, le miel, le grain, l’or, le trésor, le banian, l’image, Le maître suprême des continents et la statue en or représentent l’Élément sublime et immaculé.

Obermiller (1931) [10]
- These stains are like a lotus, like bees,
- Like the b ark, like impurities, and like the ground,
- Like a seed, like a tattered garment,
- Like a Woman tormented by violent pain, and like dust.
- The Immaculate Germ has a resemblance
- With the Buddha, with honey, with the kernel of a fruit,
- With gold, with a treasure, with the Nyagrodha tree, and a precious image,
- With the Highest Lord of the Universe, and with a golden statue.[11]
Takasaki (1966) [12]
- [In these illustrations], pollutions are like
- A lotus flower, bees, husk, impurities and the ground,
- Like the bark of a fruit, like a tattered garment,
- Like a woman of misery, and like earth tormented by the fire of pains;
- And the Buddha, honey, cleaned kernels, gold, treasure,
- A Nyagrodha tree, a precious image, the Highest Lord of the world,
- And a purified precious statue,
- The excellent Essence has a resemblance to them.
Holmes (1985) [13]
- The impurities correspond to the lotus, the insects, the husks,
- filth, the ground, the fruit, the tattered rags,
- the woman strongly afflicted by burning sorrows and the clay.
- The buddha, the honey, the grains, the gold, the treasure,
- the nyagrodha tree, the precious statue,
- the supreme ruler of the continents and the precious image
- correspond to this supreme, immaculate nature.
Holmes (1999) [14]
- The impurities correspond to the lotus, the insects, the husks,
- filth, the ground, the fruit, the tattered rags,
- the woman severely afflicted by burning sorrows and the clay.
- The buddha, honey, grains, gold, treasure,
- the nyagrodha tree, the precious statue,
- the supreme ruler of the continents and the precious image
- correspond to this supreme, immaculate nature.
Fuchs (2000) [15]
- The defilements correspond to the lotus,
- the insects, the husk, the filth, the earth,
- the fruit, the tattered rag, the pregnant woman
- direly vexed with burning suffering, and the clay.
- The buddha, the honey, the grain, the gold,
- the treasure, the nyagrodha tree, the precious statue,
- the continents' supreme ruler, and the precious image
- are similar to the supreme undefiled element.

- These nine examples stem from the Tathāgatagarbhasūtra (D258, fols. 248a.3–254b.3).
- I follow MA tuṣeṣu sārāny against J tuṣesu sārāny.
- DP "lowly" (ngan ma).
- Skt. prāṇi (lit. "living beings" or "animals").
- With Schmithausen, I follow MA °strīrūpa° against J °strīduḥkha° and take °jvalanābhitaptapṛthivīdhātu° as a unit, which is also confirmed by VT (fol. 13v2) that relates jvalanābhitaptaṃ to pṛthivīdhātuḥ, saying that jvalanābhitaptaṃ refers to heated gold and pṛthivīdhātuḥ to the earth that covers that gold. However, DP read "a lowly woman tormented by the blaze of suffering, and the element of earth" (dug bsngal ’bar bas mngon par gdungs pa’i bud med sa yi khans).
- I follow Schmithausen in linking °vimalaprakhyaḥ with sa dhātuḥ paraḥ and not with °ratnabimba° ("precious statue"in VI.98d). DP read "the stainless supreme basic element resembles . . ." (dang dri med khams mchog mtshungs pa nyid).
- In the Tathāgatagarbhasūtra, this example occurs twice. The introduction of the sūtra describes in detail how the Buddha miraculously manifests in the sky thousands of fragrant opened lotus flowers with buddhas sitting upon them, emitting light. These lotuses blossom and fade at the same time, exuding a foul smell, but the buddhas still remain within them without a stain. In the sūtra’s section of the nine examples proper, this example is presented as it is here in the Uttaratantra. For details of the differences between the nine examples as presented in the Tathāgatagarbhasūtra and the Uttaratantra, see Zimmermann 2002, 105–44.
