दृष्ट्वा मुनिः सत्त्वगुणं तथैव

तत्क्लेशपङ्कव्यवदानहेतो-

E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[1]
།དེ་བཞིན་ཐུབ་པས་མི་གཙང་དང་འདྲ་བའི།
།ཉོན་མོངས་སུ་བྱིང་སེམས་ཅན་ཡོན་ཏན་ནི།
།གཟིགས་ནས་ཉོན་མོངས་འདམ་དེ་དག་བྱའི་ཕྱིར།
།སྐྱེ་དགུ་རྣམས་ལ་དམ་ཆོས་ཆུ་ཆར་འབེབས།
Dege, PHI, 118
Similarly, the sage beholds the qualities of sentient beings,
Sunken into the afflictions that are like excrement,
And thus showers down the rain of the dharma onto beings
In order to purify them of the afflictions’ dirt.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 396 [2]
佛觀眾生性 沒煩惱糞中
為欲拔濟彼 雨微妙法雨

De même, voyant la qualité des êtres enfouie

Dans les immondices des affections, Le sage fait sur tous les êtres tomber les pluies Du vrai Dharma pour les laver de la boue des affections.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [4]
In a like way the Lord perceives the true virtues of the living beings
Sunk amidst the passions that are like impurities，
And, in order to wash off this dirt of Desire,
Lets the rain of the Highest Doctrine descend on all that lives.
Takasaki (1966) [5]
Similarly, the Buddha perceives the quality of living beings
Drowned in the Defilements which are like impurities,
And pours the rain of the Doctrine over the living beings
In order to wash off that dirt of defilements.
Fuchs (2000) [6]
Likewise the Muni sees the quality [of] beings,
which is sunken in the filth-like mental poisons,
and pours his rain of sacred Dharma upon them
to purify the muddiness of their afflictions.
