Chapter XVII The Theme

sthaviro subhūti paripṛcchati lokanāthaṃ araṇāya liṅga bhaṇahī guṇasāgarāṇām |
avivartiyā yatha bhavanti mahānubhāvā tāṃ vyākuruṣva jinaguṇāna pradeśamātram || 17,1 ||

時須菩提瞻仰問不退菩薩何殊勝
離言聲相云何說願佛說彼功德藏

’jig rten mgon la gnas brtan rab ’byor (4) yongs zhus pa || yon tan rgya mtsho nyon mongs ma mchis rtags bstan gsol ||
mthu che ba dag ji ltar slar ldog mi ’gyur ba || de ltar yon tan phyogs tsam rgyal bas lung bstan gsol ||

The Elder Subhuti questions the Saviour of the World:
“Teach the characteristics of those who are secluded in Peace, of the Oceans of Qualities,
How they become irreversible, and of great might.
Declare, O Jina, their qualities, merely by way of outline!”

nānātvasaṃjñavigatā gira yuktabhāṇī na ca anya te śramaṇa brāhmaṇa āśrayanti |
triyapāyavarjita vidū sadakāli bhonti daśabhiś ca te kuśalakarmapathebhi yuktā || 17,2 ||

不住沙門婆羅門及行十善離三塗
大智離於種種相如山谷響聲相應

tha dad ’du shes bral zhing rigs pa ldan tshig smra || dge sbyong dag (5) dang bram ze gzhan la rten mi byed ||
mkhas pa dus rnams rtag tu ngan song gsum po spangs || de dag dge bcu’i las kyi lam la mngon par brtson ||

Qualities of Irreversible Bodhisattvas
“They are free from the perception of multiplicity; they speak suitably;
They do not take refuge with outside Sramanas or Brahmanas.
The wise have avoided for all time the three places of woe,
And they are practised in the ten wholesome paths of action.

dharmaṃ nirāmiṣu jagasyanuśāsayanti ekāntadharmaniyatāḥ sada snigdhavākyāḥ |
sthiticaṃkramaṃ śayaniṣadya susaṃprajānā yugamātraprekṣiṇa vrajanty abhrāntacintā || 17,3 ||

若欲法無礙行化一向善說諸言教
行住坐臥四威儀一念觀心悉通達

zang zing med par ’gro la chos ni rjes su ston || chos la gcig tu dga’ zhing rtag tu tshig ’jam ldan ||
’gro ’chag (6) nyal dang ’dug par shes bzhin rab tu ldan || gnya’ shing gang tsam lta zhing ’gro la sems ’khrul med ||

Free from self-interest they instruct the world in Dharma.
They take delight in the Dharma.
They always speak gently.
Standing, walking, lying down, sitting, they are fully conscious [of what they are doing].
They walk along looking ahead only one yoke, their thoughts not wandering about.

śuciśaucaambaradharā trivivekaśuddhā na ca lābhakāma vṛṣabhā sada dharmakāmāḥ |
mārasyatītaviṣayā aparapraṇeyā catudhyānadhyāyi na ca niśrita tatra dhyāne || 17,4 ||

三業清淨如白衣不為利養故樂法
降魔境界及化他觀四禪定而不住

gtsang byas gtsang ma’i gos ’chang gsum po dben zhing dag || rnyed ’dod ma yin khyu mchog rtag tu chos ’dod pa ||
bdud kyi yul las ’das shing gzhan (7) gyi dring mi ’jog || bsam gtan bzhi la bsam gtan bsam gtan der mi gnas ||

They wear garments clean and unsoiled.
They become pure through the threefold detachment.
Majestic men they want no gain, but always Dharma.
They have passed beyond Mara’s realms.
Others cannot lead them astray.
They meditate in the four trances, but they do not use those trances as a support [for a better rebirth].

na ca kīrtikāma na ca krodhaparītacittā gṛhibhūta nitya anadhyoṣita sarva vastuṃ |
na ca jīvikāviṣayabhoga gaveṣayanti abhicāramantra na ca istriprayogamantrāḥ || 17,5 ||

不求名譽無瞋恚乃至在家塵不染
或為富貴及脫命不染纖毫之欲塵

grags pa ’dod pa ma yin khro bas sems dkris med || khyim par gyur kyang rtag tu dngos po kun ma chags ||
’tsho pa’i phyir ni ya ngas longs spyod tshol ma byed || drag shul (10b1) spyod sngags mi byed bud med sbyor sngags min ||

They do not want fame, their hearts are not overcome by anger.
As householders they remain constantly unattached to their entire property.
They do not seek to earn their livelihood in the wrong way,
Through bewitchment-spells, or the spells which are the work of women.

na ca ādiśanti puruṣaiḥ striya icchakarmāṃ pravivikta prajñavarapāramitābhiyuktāḥ |
kalahāvivādavigatā dṛḍhamaitracittā sarvajñakāma sada śāsani nimnacittāḥ || 17,6 ||

本來寂靜無所有更互相相業所緣
若求清淨不退時當行最上般若行

’dod pa’i las can pho mor ’gyur zhes ston mi byed || rab tu dben pa’i shes rab pha rol phyin
’thab dang rtsod dang bral zhing byams pa’i sems kyang brtan || kun mkhyen ’dod cing brtan la rtag tu (2) gzhol sems ldan ||

Nor do they [earn a living by] tell[ing] plausible lies to men and women.
Practised in the quite detached wisdom, the best of perfections,
Free from quarrels and disputes, their thoughts firmly friendly,
They want [to see] the all-knowing, their thoughts always inclined towards the religion.

pratyantamlecchajanavarjita-antadeśāḥ svakabhūmi kāṅkṣavigatāḥ sada merukalpāḥ |
dharmārtha jīvita tyajanti prayuktayogā avivartiyāna imi liṅga prajānitavyā || 17,7 ||

求正遍知心柔順不求二地離邊地
為法捨命如須彌是名不退之菩薩

mtha’ ’khob kla klo’i skye bo’i yul mtha’ rnam par spangs || rang gis la dogs med rtag tu ri rab ’dra ||
chos phyir srog kyang ’dor zhing rnal ’byor rab tu brtson || mi ldog rtags ni ’di dag yin par shes par bya ||

They have avoided the barbarous populations of outlying districts, of the border regions.
They are free from doubts about their own stage, always fashioned like Meru.
For the sake of Dharma they renounce their very life, intent on their practice.
These should be wisely known as the characteristics of the irreversible.

bhagavatyāṃ ratnaguṇasaṃcayagāthāyām avinivartanīyaliṅgākāraparivarto nāma saptadaśamaḥ ||
