Translation
| a1 | Your teaching, not that of anyone else is in this way singularly lovely, your... |
|---|
| a1+ | ... (foolish) views... |
|---|
| a2 | If they reproach the law, there is no enemy like (false) views. |
|---|
| a2+ | You who have enjoyedn1 (?)... |
|---|
| a3 | s'étant souvenu de cela. |
|---|
| a3 | Much distress of the world Having remembered that, (you) have to persist even in non-appearing/deformed (?) (teaching) |
|---|
| a4 | First, the (teaching) of the one saying good and doing good... would have to be done by you even if your head would burn (?). |
|---|
| a5 | Being... through one's self... |
|---|
| a6 | ... they will all achieve tranquillity from your law. |
|---|
| a6+ | This is thus the fourfold bliss. |
|---|
| b1 | Your teaching causes pain to Māra, consolation to gods and men. |
|---|
| b2 | Of birth, great, of the earth, without clinging, without entanglement (is your teaching). |
|---|
| b2+ | Through your teaching even the teaching of Māra is (overcome). |
|---|
| b3 | For the one who knows the taste of your teaching... goes himself as is his wish there where death has no territory. |
|---|
| b4+ | There is a partition of the three times of thinking of the meaning of the teaching and of making dear practice. |
|---|
| b5+ | This (teaching) of yours... not outside... thus full of virtue, you bull of a sage! |
|---|
| b6 | Those who don't make the law their refuge... |
|---|
Other
| a2 | [skt:] if [fools] contemn your teaching [tb:] if they blame the law (cf 168) (Peyrot 2013b: 325) |
|---|
| a5+ | Freiheit [wtl. das Nach-seinem-eigenen-Selbst-Sein], (das Glück der) [vollkommenen] Erkennt(nis [d.h. der Erleuchtung], die Verehrung deiner Tugenden), Weisheit: all dies - eine erfreuliche Vierheit - wird aus deiner Lehre erreicht. (Schmidt 1974: 231) |
|---|
| b6 | Dass sie [scil. die Menschen] nicht zu dieser deiner Lehre, [die] so voll von guten Eigenschaften [ist], Zuflucht nehmen, o du Vorzüglichster [wtl. Stier] unter den Weisen, (was [ist] verderblicher als das?) (Schmidt 1974: 434) |

Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | The usual translation for the root yu - is "ripened". However, the Sanskrit parallel text has anvābhuṃkth(ā) , which belongs to the root bhuj - "enjoy". |
