1.13
'Pāramitā' is translated here as 'to the other shore reached', which should be 'reaching the other shore', meaning leaving this shore of saṃsāra, crossing the midstream of afflictions, and reaching the other shore of nirvāṇa. Nirvāṇa is translated here as complete quiescence, and also as extinction and crossing over. All sentient beings are themselves of the characteristic of quietude and extinction, and are not to be extinguished again; it is merely that due to deluded inversion they falsely see saṃsāra, which is called being on this shore. If one realizes that saṃsāra is fundamentally empty and has always been completely quiescent, this is called reaching the other shore. If combined with prajñā by inverting the phrasing, it should be 'wisdom reaching the other shore'.
