यथावत्तज्जगच्छन्तधर्मतावगमात् स च
प्रकृतेः परिशुद्धत्वात् क्लेशस्यादिक्षयेक्षणात्
yathāvattajjagacchantadharmatāvagamāt sa ca

།འགྲོ་བ་ཞི་བའི་ཆོས་ཉིད་དུ།
།རྟོགས་ཕྱིར་ཇི་ལྟ་ཉིད་དེ་ཡང་།
།རང་བཞིན་གྱིས་ནི་ཡོངས་དག་ཕྱིར།
།ཉོན་མོངས་གདོད་ནས་ཟད་ཕྱིར་རོ།
Dege, PHI, 110
[The wisdom of] suchness by virtue of
Realizing the world’s true nature of peace
Is due to the natural complete purity [of the mind]
And due to seeing the primordial termination of the afflictions.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 345. [2]
Avec la réalisation de la vraie nature
Paisible des êtres, ils [connaissent] l’essence des choses.
La nature [de l’esprit] étant totalement pure,
Les affections y sont épuisées dès l’origine.

Obermiller (1931) [3]
As they know the quiescent nature of all that exists
They have the intuition of the Absolute Truth,
This owing to (their knowledge) of the pure nature (of the Spirit),
And of the essential nullity of the defiling forces.
Takasaki (1966) [4]
Their manner [of perception] is ' as it is ',
Because they have understood the quiescent nature of the world,
And this [understanding] is caused by
The purity [of the innate mind] and
Their perception of the defilement as being destroyed from the outset.
Fuchs (2000) [5]
Realizing beings in their state of peace
[the noble ones] know correctly,
for [the mind] is by nature utterly pure
and the poisons were always exhausted.
