अभिज्ञाज्ञानवैमल्यतथताव्यतिरेकतः
दीपालोकोष्णवर्णस्य साधर्म्यं विमलाश्रये
abhijñājñānavaimalyatathatāvyatirekataḥ
dīpālokoṣṇavarṇasya sādharmyaṃ vimalāśraye
E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[1]
།དྲི་མེད་གནས་ལ་མངོན་ཤེས་དང་།
།ཡེ་ཤེས་དྲི་མེད་དེ་ཉིད་དང་།
།རྣམ་དབྱེ་མེད་ཕྱིར་མར་མེ་ཡི།
།སྣང་དང་དྲོ་མདོག་ཆོས་མཚུངས་ཅན།
In the stainless foundation, the supernatural knowledges,
Wisdom, and stainlessness are inseparable from suchness.
Therefore, they are similar, respectively, to
The light, heat, and color of a lamp.
Dans la base immaculée, les connaissances extraordinaires,
La sagesse primordiale et l’absence de souillures
sont indissociables de l’ainsité.
Voilà autant de qualités qui correspondent à celles d’une lampe –
La lumière, la chaleur et les couleurs.

Other English translations[edit]

Obermiller (1931) [3]
(When) the state of Perfect Purity (is attained),
One is possessed of the supernatural faculties,
Of the Wisdom bringing about the extirpation of defilement,
And this extirpation itself, which are indivisible.
Therefore (the Essence of the Buddha in the aspect of the result)
Suggests a resemblance with the rays, the heat, and the colour of a light.
Takasaki (1966) [4]
In the immaculate basis, the supernatural faculties,
The Wisdom and Immaculateness are inseparable from Reality;
Therefore, they have a resemblance to a lantern,
On account of its light, heat and colour.
Fuchs (2000) [5]
Clairvoyance, primordial wisdom, and absence of pollution
are totally indivisible and native to the unstained abode.
Thus it has properties corresponding
to the light, heat, and color of a lamp.
