[ZR] Swept away by the current of the four powerful rivers,
Tied by the tight bonds of karma, so hard to undo,
Caught in the iron net of self-grasping,
Completely enveloped by the total darkness of ignorance,


[AP] Beings are swept along by the powerful current of the four rivers,

Tightly bound by the chains of their karma, so difficult to undo,

Ensnared within the iron trap of their self-grasping,

And enshrouded in the thick darkness of ignorance.


[GW] Swept by the current of the four powerful rivers,
Tied by strong bonds of karma, so hard to undo,
Caught in the iron net of self-grasping,
Completely enveloped by the darkness of ignorance, 


[US] Swept along by the flow of the four violent rivers,

Tied with the tight bonds of acts hard to reverse,

Trapped inside the iron net of ego-attitudes,

Encompassed by the great gloom of ignorance’s dark:


[RT] Carried away on the currents of four mighty streams,

Tightly bound by near-inescapable chains of evolution,

Trapped and imprisoned in the iron cage of self-concern, 

Totally wrapped in the darkness of misknowledge,
