kiṃ cāpy ānanda bodhisattvena mahāsattvena tathāgatānām arhatāṃ samyaksaṃbuddhānām antike kuśalamūlam avaropitam, evaṃ hi tan na śrāvakapratyekabuddhatvāya dāsyati vipākam |
saced bodhisattvo mahāsattvo ’nuttarāyāṃ samyaksaṃbodhau na visaṃvādayiṣyati praṇidhānam, api tu khalu punar ānanda prāyeṇa tena bodhisattvena mahāsattvena kṛtajñena bhavitavyaṃ prajñāpāramitāyāṃ caritavatā |
But if a Bodhisattva does not go back on his vow to win full enlightenment, then he does not give the wholesome root, which he has planted in the presence of the Tathagatas, over to Discipleship or Pratyekabuddhahood as his reward.
And as a rule such Bodhisattvas are grateful and practise the perfection of wisdom.
