Since prajñā, wisdom, and liberation
Are illuminating, pervasive, pure,
And not different, they resemble
The light, the rays, and the orb of the sun.

La connaissance, la sagesse et la libération

Éclairent, rayonnent et purifient Sans se séparer [du corps absolu] ; On les compare à la lumière du soleil, à ses rayons et à son orbe.

Since prajñā, wisdom, and liberation

Are illuminating, pervasive, pure,

And not different, they resemble

The light, the rays, and the orb of the sun. I.93

The dhātu of nirvāṇa that is characterized by being inseparable from the accomplishment of these four kinds of qualities is described by what is prajñā, what is wisdom, and what is liberation. In due order, these are explained to resemble the sun in four ways—due to three aspects [in terms of prajñā and so on] and due to one [aspect in general]. Here, the supramundane nonconceptual prajñā in the mind stream of a buddha, {P110a} by virtue of engaging in the elimination of the darkness [that obscures] the supreme true reality of [all] knowable objects, {D106a} resembles the illuminating [quality of the sun]. The omniscient wisdom that is attained subsequently to this [prajñā], by virtue of engaging in all aspects of knowable entities without exception, resembles the pervasive web of the rays [of the sun]. The liberation of the nature of the mind that is the basis of these two, by virtue of being utterly stainless and luminous, resembles the purity of the orb of the sun. By virtue of these three having the nature of not being different from the dharmadhātu, they resemble [the fact that] those three [qualities of the sun] are inseparable from it.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931)

The Analytic Wisdom， the Highest knowledge and the Deliverance (from passion)

Are (respectively) clear, radiant, pure, and indivisible.

Therefore they are similar to the light,

The rays, and the disc of the sun.

Takasaki (1966)

The Intellect, the Wisdom and the Liberation

Are [respectively] bright, radiant, and clear,

And they are inseparable from [the Absolute Essence];

Therefore, they are similar to the light,

The rays, and the disk of the sun.

Fuchs (2000)

Illuminating, radiating, and purifying,

and inseparable from each other, analytical wisdom,

primordial wisdom, and total liberation

correspond to the light, rays, and orb of the sun.
