E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.^[2]

།ཇི་ལྟར་ཉི་མས་གདུངས་པའི་དུས་གཅིག་ཚེ་ཉིད་ལ།
།པད་སོགས་རྒྱས་དང་ཀུ་མུ་ཏ་ནི་རབ་ཟུམ་པ།
།ཆུ་སྐྱེས་བྱེ་དང་ཟུམ་པའི་ཡོན་ཏན་སྐྱོན་དག་ལ།
།ཉི་མ་རྟོག་མེད་འདིར་ནི་འཕགས་པའི་ཉི་དེ་བཞིན།

Dege, PHI, 139

When the sun warms them, the hosts of lotuses bloom
And kumuda [flowers] close at the very same time.
However, just as the sun does not think about the blooming and closing of these
Water-born [flowers] as being a quality or a flaw, the sun of the noble one here [does not think thus either].

When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 448 ^[3]

Le soleil brûle tout. Au même instant, le lotus et d’autres fleurs

S’ouvrent tandis que le nénuphar blanc se referme. Ces [fleurs] nées de l’eau ont la qualité de s’ouvrir et le défaut de se refermer, Mais l’astre n’y pense pas : de même le soleil de l’être sublime.
