Translation

(continues from THT 28)

a1... I would like to proclaim to others. [9d] He now achieved (omniscience) ...
a2... (two strophes) he spoke in the assembly, with deep meaning, he did not hide the meanings in the mind,
a2+he proclaimed them (to the pupils). [10d]
a3... as the way of the flamingos to the pond, which [way] the sage from the Śākya [community] has reached with concentrated mind, this [way] he proclaims ... [11d] ...
a4The one seeing (birth, old age and) the ending, this one tells the way to the benefit of all beings, the always loving ...
a4+... the horrible flood.
a5This second strophe he spoke. [12d] This, as it were, the Buddha had these beings know: this way ...
a6Like (the flamingos), tortured by the heat [and] tormented by thirst, enter into the cold water in the pond, having stepped down trustingly, [13d] ...
a7To the Nirvāṇa-pond all these go on the eightfold way. On which way I myself have stridden the sea of birth, on this same [way] ... [14d]
a8Make (all effort) with vigour, I [am] your support. But not long, [then] I will become extinct [and] after that remorse will be yours.
a8+The only passable (way) ... he will still be seen,
b1but I will not see it [any more]. [15d] The only passable one, why is he called the only way? He alone pulls the being from the enmity of the kleśas ... ... by letting it [the beings] stride the sea [of birth] alone, [by letting] it entirely dry up the tree of the kleśas by itself.
b2[16d]
b2+It brings the sole truth to the noble ones, (the only passable way,) ... the only passable way.
b3It is for obtaining the one way, the only passable way, also [it is] the sole making of consciousness and knowlegdge... [17d] ...
b4... On this way alone the omniscient ones stride, only on this [way] the Arhats [stride]. Not (on the way?) of the Tīrthas, not (on the one) of the outsiders ... [18d]
b5Some beings had missed the ways due to ignorance.
b6Having entered (into the) nets of the views ... ... That from eight steps have driven away the kleśas [and] are standing in the last existence. [19d] Those having reached the Nirvāṇa, themselves ...
b7... the Omniscient (made) the prophecy: when this one’s life ends, (he will be), when he dies, from the state of the Naivasaṃjñānāsaṃjñā ... [20d] ...
b8... [21b] If he kills animals before that, flying ones, walking ones ....

a2... (zwei Strophen) sprach er in der Versammlung mit tiefem Sinn, nicht verbarg er die Bedeutungen im Geiste, er trug sie (den Schülern) vor. (Schmidt 1974: 402)
a7Zu dem Nirvāṇa-Teich gehen alle diese auf dem achtfachen Weg. (Schmidt 1974: 275)
a8Exert all zeal energetically [with] me as your [pl.] help, since before long I will go to extinction [and] after that you [pl.] will have regret. (cf : ii, 48) (Peyrot 2013b: 373)
b1Der allein gangbare, warum wird er der alleinige Weg genannt? (Schmidt 1974: 224)
b3Zur Erreichung des e i n e n Weg[zieles] dient [wtl. wendet sich] der allein gangbare Weg. (Schmidt 1974: 280)
