།དེ་བཞིན་བདེ་གཤེགས་མནར་མེད་གནས་རྣམས་ལའང་།
།སངས་རྒྱས་སྤྱན་གྱིས་རང་ཆོས་ཉིད་གཟིགས་ཏེ།
།སྒྲིབ་མེད་ཕྱི་མཐའི་མུར་གནས་ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཡི།
།བདག་ཅག་སྒྲིབ་པ་ལས་ནི་གྲོལ་བར་མཛད།

Similarly, the Sugata beholds his own true nature
With his buddha eye even in those who dwell in the Avīci [hell]
And thus, as the one who is unobscured, remains until the end of time,
And has the character of compassion, frees it from the obscurations.
With his buddha eye even in those who dwell in the Avīci [hell]
And thus, as the one who is unobscured, remains until the end of time,
And has the character of compassion, frees it from the obscurations.
- De même, avec son œil de bouddha, le Bien-Allé voit aussi
- Sa propre nature chez les êtres de l’enfer des Tourments Insurpassables.
- Compassion incarnée, libre des voiles,
- il restera jusqu’à la fin des temps
- Pour libérer les êtres des voiles qui les obscurcissent.

Obermiller (1931) [4]
- In the same way the Lord perceives with his sight of a Buddha
- His own essence even in those that abide in the lowest of hells,
- And, endowed with the uttermost Commiseration, free from impediments,
- Delivers the living beings from the Obscurations.
Takasaki (1966) [5]
- Similarly, the Lord, with his Buddha's eyes,
- Perceives his own nature even in those who are in the lowest world
- And, being immaculate, standing at the utmost limit and being full of Compassion
- He releases them from the obscurations.
Fuchs (2000) [6]
- Likewise the Sugata with his buddha eye perceives his own true state even in those
- who must abide in the hell of direst pain.
- Endowed with compassion itself, which is unobscured and endures to the final end,
- he relieves them from their obscurations.
