།ངོ་བོ་རྒྱུ་དང་འབྲས་བུ་དང་།

།དེ་རྟག་བསམ་མི་ཁྱབ་ཉིད་ཀྱིས།
།སངས་རྒྱས་ས་ནི་མཉམ་པར་གཞག
།ལས་དང་ལྡན་ལ་འཇུག་པ་དང་།

Through nature, cause, fruition,
Function, endowment, manifestation,
And its permanence and inconceivability,
The buddhabhūmi is determined.
Function, endowment, manifestation,
And its permanence and inconceivability,
The buddhabhūmi is determined.
- L’essence, la cause, le fruit,
- La fonction, la dotation, la manifestation,
- La permanence et l’inconcevabilité
- [Ces huit points] déterminent la bouddhéité.
