1. Some assert that anguish arises from being made by self, made by other, by both, without
cause. To do that is not suitable.

2. If it were made by self, therefore it would not be contingently arising, because those
aggregates arise contingently on these aggregates.
 
[A difficulty with this entire chapter is to know what [[bdag]] (self) refers to in the context of the creation of anguish. Does it refer to "oneself", i.e. the person who suffers, or to anguish "itself?" In verse 2, the latter reading would seem to suggest itself, but then it would be at odds with the subsequent verses, where [[Nagarjuna]] explicitly introduces the ideas of svapudgala and parapudgala (one's own person and the other person) as the creators of anguish. Verse 10, with its comparison of anguish with external things, likewise would suggest the latter reading. I have chosen to translate the entire chapter (thus leaving v. 10 ambiguous) in the former sense. The crucial issue here, I feel, is the confusion around what it means to say "I cause myself pain."]

Chapter 12. Investigation of Anguish

(Anguish) - (sdug bsngal)

[Tib. has "Investigation of what is made by me and made by others" while Skt. has duhkha.]

[Lha. *par]

1. Some assert that anguish arises from being made by self, made by other, by both, without cause. To do that is not suitable.

2. gal te bdag gis byas gyur na/

gang phyir phung po 'di dag la/
brten nas phung po de dag 'byung//

2. If it were made by self, therefore it would not be contingently arising, because those aggregates arise contingently on these aggregates.

[A difficulty with this entire chapter is to know what bdag (self) refers to in the context of the creation of anguish. Does it refer to "oneself", i.e. the person who suffers, or to anguish "itself?" In verse 2, the latter reading would seem to suggest itself, but then it would be at odds with the subsequent verses, where Nagarjuna explicitly introduces the ideas of svapudgala and parapudgala (one's own person and the other person) as the creators of anguish. Verse 10, with its comparison of anguish with external things, likewise would suggest the latter reading. I have chosen to translate the entire chapter (thus leaving v. 10 ambiguous) in the former sense. The crucial issue here, I feel, is the confusion around what it means to say "I cause myself pain."]

3. gal te 'di las de gzhan zhing/

3. If that were other than this and if this were other than that, anguish would be made by other and that would be made by those others.

[ Ts. 244 is happy with the reading of lines c-d by Buddhapalita and Sherab Dronme: gzhan de dag gis 'di byas pas/sdug bsngal gzhan gyis byas par 'gyur -- which is equivalent to "...anguish would be made by others since those others made this."]
