निर्विकल्पम् अनाभोगं नाध्यात्मं न बहिः स्थितम्
nirvikalpam anābhogaṃ nādhyātmaṃ na bahiḥ sthitam
གཞན་གྱི་རྣམ་རིག་ལས་བྱུང་བ། །
རྣམ་རྟོག་མེད་ཅིང་བཟོ་མེད་ལ། །
ཕྱི་དང་ནང་ན་མི་གནས་ལྟར། །
Arises in the cognizance of others,
Is without thought, effortless,
And abides neither inside nor outside,
- De même que le son de l’écho,
- Qui jaillit de la perception des êtres
- N’a pas de pensées, n’est pas fabriqué
- Et ne se tient pas plus dedans que dehors,
