།ཇི་ལྟར་སྒྲོན་གློག་ནོར་བུ་ཉི་ཟླ་ལ།
།བརྟེན་ནས་མིག་དང་ལྡན་པ་ལྟ་བ་བཞིན།
།དེ་བཞིན་དོན་ཆེན་ཆོས་སྤོབས་འོད་མཛད་པ།
།ཐུབ་ལ་བརྟེན་ནས་འདི་ཉིད་རབ་ཏུ་བཤད།

Dege, PHI, 144

Just as those with eyes [can] see in dependence on
A lamp, lightning, a jewel, the moon, and the sun,
So I expounded this [treatise] in dependence on the sage
Who is the sun that illuminates the dharma of great meaning.

When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 457 ^[3]

De même qu’à la lumière d’une lampe, d’un éclair, d’un joyau,

Du soleil ou de la lune, ceux qui ont des yeux voient,

De même, j’ai donné toutes ces explications par la grâce du Sage

qui répand sa lumière

Sur les enseignements, leur sens, leur expression verbale

et l’assurance du discours.

Following this verse, DP and C insert several headings that are absent in the Sanskrit (DP omits the first one here and also the one for V.25), but derived from V.26–28. When available, I follow the text of these headings in DP, with phrases in "( )"being added by the translator.
