Recitation by Professor Kashinath Nyaupane

36

Therefore, I will not rest until these enemies are slain before my eyes. There are some who, victims of their own anger, mad with pride, do not sleep until they have destroyed the most insignificant of those who offend them.

I will not leave the fight until, before my eyes,

These enemies of mine are all destroyed. For if, aroused to fury by the merest slight,

Incapable of sleep until the scores are settled,

Je ne relâcherai pas mon effort

Avant de voir cet ennemi vaincu pour de bon. Les arrogants qui s’emportent contre les petits agresseurs éphémères

Ne trouvent pas le sommeil avant de les avoir vaincus.

Bodhicaryâvatâra: La marche vers l'éveil (2007)

Por ello, no cesaré en mi lucha hasta no ver

definitivamente derrotados a estos enemigos, igual que quienes por orgullo se enfurecen sin dormir

hasta vencer a los que un poco los dañan.[p.80]La Práctica del Bodisatva

Padmakara Spain 2008

La Práctica del Bodisatva

Thus, as long as I do not destroy this enemy directly

For that long I shall not give up striving here. The very proud ones that become angry even due to small harm,

Sleep will elude them until they have destroyed it.

Stracke 2016

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

Thus, I will not abandon diligence unless and until

I can certainly conquer these enemies. The very proud who become angry toward even minor causers of harm

Cannot sleep until they destroy them.

alt verse 3.36 tm data

In this way, until I certainly and directly

Subjugate or completely uproot these enemies, I should not abandon exertion. Those of great pride become angry at someone Who performs even a small harmful deed over a short period of time,

And cannot sleep until subduing that person.
