धर्मकायाद् अविचलन् भव्यानाम् एति दर्शनम्
dharmakāyād avicalan bhavyānām eti darśanam

སྐལ་ལྡན་རྣམས་ལ་འབད་མེད་པར། །
སྤྲུལ་པ་དག་ནི་སྟོན་པར་མཛད། །
From the dharmakāya,
Effortlessly displays himself to the suitable
Through emanations in all realms.
- De même, sans quitter le corps absolu
- Et sans effort, le Sage montre des apparences
- De lui-même dans toutes les sphères
- Aux êtres assez fortunés pour cela.
