Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [5]
The essence, the cause, and the result,
The functions, the relations, and the manifestations,
The eternal and the inconceivable character,—
By these the state of the Buddha is characterized.
Takasaki (1966) [6]
The own nature, the cause, and the result,
The function, the union, and the manifestation,
Its eternal and inconceivable character;
By these points, there is the establishment [of the Essence]
In Buddhas' Stages.
Fuchs (2000) [7]
By [the topics] essence, cause, fruit,
function, endowment, manifestation,
permanence, and inconceivability,
the level of a buddha is presented.
