| a1 | sufferings. This they heard, [and] manifold thereupon they divided [their] thinking: There is no deliverance from the sufferings in any permanent path. These so great sages have not made the sufferings disappear permanently. |
| a1+ | Here there is not this path yet that makes the suffering disappear. |
| a2 | [22d] |
| a2 | [In order] to drive out from these this depression of the mind and the suffering, the Omniscient proclaimed the strophes in the assembly, to comfort their mind: |
| a2+ | To permanently cease and continually be capable of purity, to make disappear the cycle of birth and death [23d] and to recognize the countless births this path as the best one was revealed by the one who knows the world, the noble. |
| a4 | [24d] |
| a4 | Just like the water having come into the Gaṅgā flows together flawlessly with the ocean, in this way [also] this eightfold path which has been proclaimed (flows) |
| a5 | ... to reach immortality, this strophe as the second the God of Gods proclaimed there, to comfort these beings. This also he made them know: |
| a5+ | There is here [only] one way out of the Saṃsāra (towards the permanent) deliverance (of the world) from the sufferings, [namely] the eightfold, noble, [25d] destroying all kleśas, making all births end, like cutting off desease, old-age, death and birth. |
| a7 | [26d] |
| a7 | The miserable (beings have missed the path), even great sages. On a wrong path they are desiring deliverance, therefore they do not achieve [it]. But the eightfold path proclaimed by me [is] destroying the births. |
| a7+ | The seven (factors of enlightenment) ... it reaches. |
| a8 | Like the waters from the rivers, when they descend directed towards the Gaṅgā, all become glorious, all go towards the sea, [27d] |
| a8+ | [just] so (towards the) Brahma(world)... |
| b1 | ... all are turned towards the Nirvāṇa [and] go (from the house). On the body of the Buddha they see the jewel[signs] and characteristics (of excellence), [and] (on the body) fathom wide rays covered his golden skin which, together with odour, drove off all kleśas and defeated the four Māras. |
| b2 | , [28d], |
| b2 | [His] own good, which he had done, of it the beings had heard. |
| b2+ | In what way, however, (for everyone he did good things, the) sage of the Śākyas, |
| b3 | [29d] |
| b3 | the world’s doubt [about this] he intended to cut off, [and] he proclaimed this strophe to them: He who turned the good wheel of the law, thus far unheard, all beings he loves, for everyone in [his] cycle of births, such a being like this, most excellent among gods and men, one shall at all times venerate as the one having passed across the sea of birth. |
| b4 | [30d] |
| b4+ | By the turning of the wheel of the law he freed the beings; |
| b5 | he, the one always striving for [his] own [salvation and], equally, the salvation of the others, is to be venerated. |
| b5+ | [The turning] of the wheel of the law, which is called the Darśanamārga ["the path of vision”] by name. |
| b6 | Within fifteen moments the five elements turn, – hence the name Dharmacakra [“wheel of the law”] – , [31d] above and below. The spokes that are below when the wheel turns, they turn upwards |
| b6+ | and again from above downwards. |
| b7 | [32d] |
| b7 | Of the splendid wheel of the law the one felloe around, the four spokes as well as [the axle] in the centre [are], as it were, the Mārgāṅgas [“the sections of the path”]. In this way the Buddha the wheel of the law, the thus far unturned and unheard of he turns |
| b8 | [33d] |
| b8 | and no one else can do this. Thereupon gods and men were freed from the five [kinds of] births. The one having acted in this way towards the salvation of everyone, the Omniscient must be venerated. At another time |

| a1+ | Or isn't there any way here that makes sorrow disappear? (Peyrot 2013b: 354) |
| a7 | Die unglücklichen (Wesen haben den Weg verfehlt), auch große Weise. Auf falschem Wege suchen sie die Erlösung, deshalb erlangen sie [sie] nicht. (Schmidt 1974: 154) |
| a8+ | [Just as] the waters from the rivers, if they descend towards the Ganges, all become glorious and all go towards the ocean, so to the Brahma world … all are turned towards the nirvāṇa and leave the house. (cf : ii, 50) (Peyrot 2013b: 681) |
| b4+ | Durch das Drehen des Gesetzesrades erlöste er [scil. der Buddha] die Wesen. (Schmidt 1974: 508) |
| b5 | ... durch das Drehen des Gesetzesrades ... (Schmidt 1974: 224, fn. 10) |
| b5+ | "Gesetzesrad" [ist das], was darśanamārga [Weg der Erkenntnis] mit Namen genannt wird. (Schmidt 1974: 224) |
| b6+ | Up and down turn those spokes when the wheel turns: those which are down turn upwards, [and] from above again downwards. (cf : ii, 51) (Peyrot 2013b: 704) |
| b6+ | Innerhalb von fünfzehn Augenblicken drehen sich die fünf Skandhas, - [daher] der Name Dharmacakra [Rad des Gesetzes] - oben [und] unten um. Die Speichen, welche, wenn das Rad sich dreht, [gerade] unten sind, die drehen sich nach oben um [und] von oben wiederum nach unten. (Schmidt 1974: 272-3) |
