Translation
| a1 | ... is an early sign at the death of the ill one. And that has to be reckoned with: |
|---|---|
| a1+ | There is not even a single being left in all of the Saṃsāra who is not a relative of mine, or whose relative I am not. |
| a2+ | (Yet) we are all separated from each other. |
| a3 | Which tears I wept, if someone were to collect them, in one single kalpa there would be more than the water in the four oceans. |
| a4+ | Whichever believer has given gifts, has observed good behavior, or has served, has strived for knowledge, has sat in deep meditation, has left home for the Buddha - if he dies, he no longer has to worry. |
| b2+ | Having taken the solid parts out of the body (and) life, he went from here (?). |
| b3 | ... 8. || The Ārṣagrantha has come to an end. || |
Other
| a1+ | Es muss eben auch dieses berücksichtigt werden: Es [ist] kein einziger Mensch in diesem ganzen Saṃsāra übriggeblieben, der nicht mein Angehöriger gewesen [wäre] oder dessen [Angehöriger] ich nicht gewesen wäre: [Aber] wir sind alle voneinander getrennt worden. Was für Tränen ich geweint habe, [wenn] das einer gesammelt hätte,[so] wäre es in einem Kalpa mehr gewesen als die Wasser in den 4 Ozeanen. (Schmidt 1974: 50) |
