Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) ^[4]

Through the perfect purity of their insight,

The Absolute and the Empirical, both being Introspective,

The Congregation of the Sages abiding in the Irretrievable State

Is endowed with the highest merits.—

Takasaki (1966) ^[5]

Because of its purity of perception by introspective knowledge,

So far as its manner and extent are concerned,

The Community of irreversible Bodhisattvas

[Is endowed] with the supreme qualities.

Fuchs (2000) ^[6]

The assembly of those who have understanding

and thus do not fall back has unsurpassable qualities,

since their vision of inner primordial wisdom,

which knows correctly and knows completely, is pure.
