अस्ति सूक्ष्मतया दुःखं स्थौल्यं तस्य हृतं ननु। तुष्टिमात्रापरा चेत्स्यात्तस्मात् साप्यस्य सूक्ष्मता॥
If suffering does not arise when causes of the opposite have arisen, surely the resulting notion of 'a sensation' is in fact a superimposition of our imagination?
སྡུག་བསྔལ་ཕྲ་མོ་ཉིད་དུ་ཡོད། །
འདི་ཡི་རགས་པ་བསལ་མིན་ནམ། ། དེ་ནི་དེ་ལས་གཞན་དགའ་ཙམ། །
ཞེ་ན་ཕྲ་ཉིད་དེ་ཡང་དེའི། །Perhaps you say that only subtle pain remains,
Its grosser form has now been overmastered— Or rather it is felt as “mere pleasure.”
But what is subtle still remains itself.
You might say, “Isn’t it that suffering exists in a subtle form,
Once its gross form is removed?” If the [feeling] other than that is mere joy, Any subtlety must still pertain to this. [90]1696Pawo Rinpoche’s version of lines 90bc has ’di yis instead of ’di yi and gzhan ’ga’ tsam instead of gzhan dga’ tsam. Thus, his commentary refers to the following reading: You might say, “Suffering exists in a subtle form.” Isn’t it that this removes the gross form [of pleasure]? If it is merely something other,
Any subtlety must still pertain to this.
– La douleur existe alors à l’état subtil, dites-vous,
Car son état manifeste a été écarté, n’est-ce pas ? À moins, encore, qu’il ne s’agisse d’une simple sensation de plaisir ?
– Même subtile, la sensation demeure.
Quizá diréis que el sufrimiento queda de un modo sutil
y su aspecto más burdo ha sido eliminado o más bien que se siente como mero “placer”.
Pero aunque sutil, seguirá ahí.
Merely subtle suffering exists,
Isn’t the coarse one cleared away? If, ‘It is a mere joy apart from it’,
The subtle itself belongs to it as well
A subtle suffering exists
Although its gross aspect is dispelled. If they say that subtle joy is other than that
Still, the subtle must also be a type of it.
