Recitation by Professor Kashinath Nyaupane

Nothing comes from elsewhere, nothing remains, nothing goes elsewhere. What difference is there between a magical creation and this that the foolish imagine to be real?

Recitation by Lopen Karma Phuntsho

142

It does not come from somewhere else,

Neither does it stay nor yet depart. How will what confusion takes for truth

In any sense be different from a mirage?

Neither does anything come from something other, Nor does it abide, nor does it go. [142ab]

So what is the difference between illusions And what is taken to be real by ignorant people? [142cd]

Brunnhölzl 2004

The Center of the Sunlit Sky

L’effet ne vient pas non plus d’ailleurs ;

Il ne reste nulle part et ne s’en va pas. Tout ce que les ignorants prennent pour réel,

En quoi cela diffère-t-il d’une illusion [magique] ?

Padmakara France 2007

Bodhicaryâvatâra: La marche vers l'éveil (2007)

No procede de otro lugar

ni permanece ni parte. ¿En qué se diferencia de un espejismo

lo que por ignorancia se considera verdadero?[p.175]La Práctica del Bodisatva

Padmakara Spain 2008

La Práctica del Bodisatva

It does not come from other, It does not abide or go.

How is that made true by delusion Different from an illusion?

Stracke 2016

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

It does not come from another source,

Nor does it abide or go. How is that which is imputed by delusion as truth

Different than a magical apparition?

MD: Arising does not come from something other,

It does not abide, and does not go elsewhere. That which is no different from illusion –

The ignorant label as truly existent.
