སྟོབས་ཉིད་མ་རིག་སྒྲིབ་ལ་རྡོ་རྗེ་བཞིན། །
མི་འཇིགས་ཉིད་ནི་འཁོར་དུ་སེང་གེ་བཞིན། །
དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པ་མ་འདྲེས་མཁའ་བཞིན་ཏེ། །
ཐུབ་པའི་བསྟན་པ་རྣམ་གཉིས་ཆུ་ཟླ་བཞིན། །

The powers are like a vajra for the obscurations of ignorance,
The fearlessnesses amid the retinue resemble a lion,
The unique [qualities] of the Tathāgata are similar to space,
And the sage’s two kinds of display are like the moon [reflected in] water.
The fearlessnesses amid the retinue resemble a lion,
The unique [qualities] of the Tathāgata are similar to space,
And the sage’s two kinds of display are like the moon [reflected in] water.
- Si les forces sont comparables aux vajras [lancés]
- contre le voile de l’ignorance,
- Les intrépidités évoquent le lion dans l’assemblée [des animaux],
- Les [qualités] exclusives des tathāgatas ressemblent à l’espace
- Et la double apparence du Sage tient [du reflet] de la lune dans l’eau.
