And sensation, too, lacks all existence, How is craving not arrested

When all this is clearly understood?

When there is nobody who feels

And no feeling either, Then, seeing this situation,

Why, O craving, do you not burst asunder? [98]

Brunnhölzl 2004

Dès lors qu’il n’y a ni sujet sentant

Ni sensation, pourquoi, Ô soif, à ce constat,

Ne te dissipes-tu pas ?

Padmakara France 2007

Puesto que quien experimenta la sensación no existe

y la sensación también carece de existencia, ¿cómo es que el aferramiento no se disipa

cuando se ha entendido esto claramente?

Padmakara Spain 2008

La Práctica del Bodisatva

When there is no one experiencing feeling,

And when the feeling does not exist as well, Having seen this circumstance at that time,

Why should craving not be opposed?

Stracke 2016

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

If there is no feeler whatsoever,

Then no feeling exists. When seeing this situation,

Why is craving not vanquished?
