动摇不定者： 蜜蜂追逐毒花， 与之奔逐无异者， 此乃确定之比喻。 如草般摇曳之心， 如电般不可捉摸， 流水等极动摇者， 若有其他亦如此。 此乃不定之比喻。 恶趣之感受难忍， 仅以锐利比刀刃， 不似众生之心般， 亦是生畏惧之因。 此乃总括之比喻。 地狱痛苦之感受者， 皆知痛苦甚剧烈， 天界富饶为痛苦， 圣者知晓此二别。 此乃差别之比喻。 天界佳丽之美貌， 莫以白莲自矜持， 极燃烧之木棉林， 其姊妹亦具彼貌故。 此乃夸张之比喻。 梵天禅定之安乐， 若执常恒青春在， 无漏安乐更超胜， 与解脱地等同也。 此乃奇妙之比喻。 心已彻底离贪执， 对青春盛年之美貌， 与弃置尸林之骨骸， 分辨差别已愚昧。 此乃愚昧之比喻。 此为何物于树梢， 所著水滴极摇曳， 或为贪欲所掌控， 之人身耶生疑惑。 此乃疑惑之比喻。 以娇媚姿态行走者， 为具贪者生喜悦故， 非为恶臭之尸体， 应知是具鹿眼者。 此乃领悟之比喻。 恒常炽燃心煎熬， 于轮回中行事者之所， 烦恼增长之家室， 如利刃之树林一般。 此乃连带之比喻。 舍弃我慢之行善者， 乐于布施之智者们， 如财富之主人般， 此乃等同之比喻。 极寂静处之禅定， 与转轮王之律法， 虽同能增善法事， 然离散乱心更胜。 此乃贬损之比喻。 马拉雅之森林中， 此地凉风生安乐， 福德圆满成熟故， 闻法亦复如是。

The wavering: Like a bee chasing after a poisonous flower, Running after it is no different from anything else. This is a definite example. Whatever mind that wavers like grass, Unseizable like lightning, Waterfalls and the like that greatly waver, If there are others, they are similar to this. This is an indefinite example. The unbearable feeling of the lower realms, Only its sharpness is like a razor, Unlike the minds of beings, It is also a cause of fear. This is a summarized example. Those who experience the suffering of hell, Everyone knows the suffering is intense, Heavenly riches as suffering, The noble ones know the difference between these two. This is an example of difference. The beauty of a heavenly maiden's face, Do not be proud, white lotus, For the sister of the intensely burning silk-cotton tree forest, also has that. This is an exaggerated example. The bliss of the Brahma realm's meditation, If it holds permanence, stability, and youthfulness, The stainless bliss is even higher, It is equal to the state of liberation. This is a wonderful example. The mind is completely free from attachment, To the beauty of a flourishing youth, And the pile of bones abandoned in the charnel ground, It has become ignorant of distinguishing the difference. This is an example of ignorance. Is this a drop of water clinging to the tip of a tree leaf, That is greatly wavering, Or is it a human body Under the power of intense desire, causing doubt? This is an example of doubt. Because of walking with graceful gestures, And causing satisfaction to those with desire, It is not a pile of foul vomit, One should know it is one with deer-like eyes. This is an example of realization. Always intensely burning, the mind tormented, The place of those who act in samsara, This house of increasing afflictions, Is like a forest of razor leaves. This is an example of connection. Those who practice virtue, having abandoned pride, And the wise who are fond of giving, Like the owner of a treasure, This is an example of equality. This meditation in extreme solitude, And the law of a universal monarch, Although they are the same in increasing virtuous Dharma, It is superior because it is free from a distracted mind. This is an example of disparagement. The coolness of the forest of Malaya, This breeze creates happiness, Because merit has fully ripened, Hearing the Dharma is also like that.

“我相似” 这被称为赞叹的例子。 产生快乐或痛苦， 不会明确地分别说明。 这五种欲望的享受， 被认为是像剃刀的刀刃。 这被称为推测的例子。 无垢的纯洁利他心， 以及具足四种戒律功德， 虽然与圣者的道路相同， 却是相互竞争的对立面。 这被称为矛盾的例子。 任何自性离戏的智慧， 即使具足功德却需努力， 被错觉玷污的福德资粮， 终其一生努力也无法相比。 这被称为否定的例子。 须弥山以宝珠的光芒庄严， 充满梵行调伏的光辉， 虽然同样具有光彩， 但山峰并非如此殊胜。 这被称为美妙或赞美的例子。 使智慧增长的， 不是妙音天女而是听闻。 使身体感到舒适的， 也不是触觉而是极度训练。 这被称为说明其本身的例子。 美丽的形体等和禅定所生的快乐， 都无法创造寂静的快乐。 因此，涅槃本身就是例子。 这被称为非共同的例子。 轮回和涅槃的所有善道， 就像被作者汇集于一体， 那些殊胜的善知识， 都会被有智慧的人所依止。 这被称为不可能出现的例子。 在这个争论的时代，一些博学之士， 虽然持有袈裟，却虚伪狡诈， 并且总是怀有恶意， 就像从甘露的光芒中感到灼热。 这被称为非存在的例子。 就像甘露的宝瓶一样， 成就的精华妙药宝珠， 以及如意树一样，善行， 仅仅依靠就能给予殊胜的果实。 这被称为众多的例子。 以善行维生的享受， 就像在普会的花园中嬉戏， 反复享受天界自在的财富一样。 这被称为变化的例子。 太阳的光芒驱散夜晚， 药物的力量驱散热病， 就像自在天以达努之子一样， 佛法能摧毁罪恶。 这被称为连贯的例子。 佛法和轮回，以及其他， 众生、罪恶、涅槃等， 就像甘露的轮子、猴子， 毒药和喜悦的花园一样。

"I am similar." This is called an example of praise. Producing happiness or suffering, It is not explicitly stated separately. This enjoyment of the five desires, Is thought to be like the edge of a razor. This is called an example of speculation. Immaculate pure altruistic intention, And possessing the four qualities of discipline, Although similar to the path of the holy ones, They are mutually competitive opposites. This is called an example of contradiction. Whatever self-nature free from elaboration wisdom, Even though possessing qualities, requires effort, The accumulation of merit tainted by delusion, Cannot be compared even with lifelong effort. This is called an example of negation. Mount Meru is adorned with the light of jewels, Filled with the splendor of celibacy and discipline, Although equally possessing glory, The mountain is not so superior. This is called an example of beauty or praise. What increases intelligence, Is not Saraswati but hearing. What creates comfort in the body, Is also not touch but extreme training. This is called an example of stating itself. Beautiful forms and so on, and the happiness born from meditation, All of them cannot create the happiness of peace. Therefore, Nirvana itself is the example. This is called a non-common example. All the good paths of samsara and nirvana, As if gathered into one by the author, Those supreme virtuous friends, Will be relied upon by all who are wise. This is called an example of impossibility. In this age of strife, some learned ones, Although holding the maroon robes, are deceitful and cunning, And always harbor malice, Like feeling burning heat from the light of nectar. This is called an example of non-existence. Just like a vase of nectar, The essence of accomplishment, the wish-fulfilling jewel, And like the wish-fulfilling tree, virtue, Merely relying on it gives excellent results. This is called an example of multitude. This enjoyment of living by virtue, Like frolicking in the All-Gathering Garden, Repeatedly enjoying the wealth of the Lord of the Gods. This is called an example of transformation. The light of the sun dispels the night, The power of medicine dispels fever, Just like Indra with the son of Danu, Dharma destroys sin. This is called an example of coherence. Dharma and samsara, and others, Beings, sins, Nirvana, etc., Are like the wheel of nectar, monkeys, Poison, and gardens of joy.

如是此等为明义，譬喻庄严显明语。如海一般是世间，如执事一般是烦恼，如大船一般是佛法之路，如导师智者一般是导师。如是此为显明多种，江河百千万俱胝，趋入且流向水之藏。乘之种种各异义，一切皆趋入法界中。如是此为月亮事物的譬喻，从菩提心生出佛陀，从蛋壳中生出作者。胜者如实引导道路，引导他人至见之稠密处。如是此为相似结合之譬喻，导师薄伽梵如来，于无分别为有情义，为任运成就之行故，与如意之宝珍宝至尊相同。如是此为因之譬喻，如是譬喻庄严三十二。譬喻庄严之过失有三种，男女非男非女相混杂，譬喻义高下过于悬殊，多寡语句杂乱。彼等各自次第为，祖父忆念仙人尊，妇女虚伪大地一般，以谄媚之语随从，如铁粉含金母一般。安乐等主之楼房亦，如鲜花遍布之牛圈一般，剃头缓慢地迈步，此等如善逝一般。无友游荡之识，如同商人等的导师。诸行如犀牛角，唯一产生痛苦。彼等无过失目标明确之譬喻，如法行持则妇女亦，如丈夫心力极具者一般，定能趋入菩提。于此无有任何观察。如战场获胜之勇士一般，智者修行者最为安乐。如瘟疫彻底痊愈一般，断除之后再无返回。所有存在轮回之蕴，如火之自性热性一般，唯有痛苦穷尽，具慧者为解脱故当努力。如是略微劝诫，以譬喻庄严之方式宣说，然我未能说出，任何令人惊叹之词句与意义。然依循佛法之理，人主您应善加观察。此为多罗那他所说。

Thus, these are to clarify the meaning, the simile adornment that clarifies the words. Like the ocean is existence, like an official is affliction, like a great ship is the path of Dharma, like a wise guide is the teacher. Thus, this is to clarify the many, hundreds of thousands of rivers, flowing and pouring into the treasure of water. The various meanings of the vehicles, all converge into the realm of Dharma. Thus, this is an example of the object of the moon, from the mind of enlightenment arises the Buddha, from the eggshell arises the creator. The Victorious One truly guides the path, leading others to the dense place of seeing. Thus, this is an example of similar combination, the guide, the Bhagavan, the Tathagata, for the sake of sentient beings in non-discrimination, for the sake of spontaneous action, is the same as the wish-fulfilling jewel, the supreme precious gem. Thus, this is an example of cause, thus there are thirty-two simile adornments. There are three kinds of faults in simile adornments: male, female, and neuter signs are mixed, the meaning of the simile is too high or too low, and the words are too many or too few and confused. In order, these are like: the grandfather, the mindful sage is supreme, women are like deceitful earth, following with flattering words, like an iron powder containing gold mother. The mansion of the lord of happiness, etc., is also like a cattle pen covered with flowers, shaving the head and walking slowly, these are like the Sugata. This consciousness wandering without friends is like the guide of merchants. All conditioned things are like a rhinoceros horn, only creating suffering alone. These are examples of faultless and clear similes. If a woman practices according to the Dharma, she will surely attain enlightenment like a man with great courage. There is no need for any examination here. Like a hero who wins on the battlefield, a wise practitioner is supremely happy. Like a plague that has been completely cured, there is no turning back after it has been abandoned. All the aggregates that exist in samsara, like the heat of the nature of fire, are exhausted only by suffering, so the wise should strive for liberation. Thus, a little advice is given, spoken in the manner of simile adornment, but I have not been able to express any amazing words and meanings. However, according to the principles of Dharma, the lord of men should examine it well. This was spoken by Taranatha.
