First line: The ways that can be walked are not the eternal Way.

There are no explanations with the versions, but there is a section on Notes and Commentary, followed by an afterward consisting of pages on Did Lao Tsu Exist?; the Meaning of the Title and Other Key Words; parallels between Taoism and Yoga, and Sinological Usages and Principles of Translation, in addition to an Appendix and a Selected Bibliography.
