Original Sanskrit
अपि तु खलु पुनः सुभूते यः कश्चिदेवं वदेत् तथागतो गच्छति वागच्छति वा तिष्ठति वा निषीदति वा शय्यां वा कल्पयति न मे सुभूते भाषितस्यार्थमाजानाति । तत्कस्य हेतोः । तथागत इति सुभूत उच्यते न क्वचिद्गतो न कुतश्चिदागतः । तेनोच्यते तथागतोऽर्हन्सम्यक्संबुद्ध इति ॥२९॥
Musean translation
Mouseia’s complete machine-assisted Musean translation, made directly from the Sanskrit of F. Max Müller’s 1881 Anecdota Oxoniensia edition, all 32 sections, with the printed section numbers kept.
"Moreover, Subhūti, if someone were to say, 'The Tathāgata goes, comes, stands, sits, or lies down,' that person has not understood the meaning of what I have taught. Why? The Tathāgata, Subhūti, is called one who has gone nowhere and come from nowhere; therefore he is called the Tathāgata, the Worthy, the Perfectly Awakened." [29]
Plain English translation
Mouseia’s complete Plain English edition, made independently and directly from the same Sanskrit, covering all 32 sections with the printed section numbers.
"Subhūti, if someone says, 'The Tathāgata comes or goes, stands or sits, or lies down to sleep,' that person does not understand what I have taught. Why? The Tathāgata, Subhūti, is called one who has gone nowhere and come from nowhere. That is why he is called the Tathāgata, the Worthy, the Fully Awakened One." [29]
