धर्म दिशति भव्येभ्यो यत्नादिरहितोऽपि सन्
dharma diśati bhavyebhyo yatnādirahito'pi san
།བྲལ་ཡང་འགྲོ་བ་མ་ལུས་པ།
སངས་རྒྱས་གསུང་གིས་ཁྱབ་མཛད་དེ།
།སྐལ་ལྡན་རྣམས་ལ་ཆོས་སྟོན་ཏོ།
In its entirety, with his buddha voice,
Teaches the dharma, free from effort
And so on, to those who are suitable.
- De même, l’Omniprésent est libre de l’effort
- Et des quatre autres points mais, de sa parole éveillée,
- Il imprègne tous les êtres sans exception
- Et enseigne le Dharma aux êtres fortunés.

- DP "drum of dharma" (chos kyi raga).
- I follow VT’s (fol. 16r4) gloss of °praṇudanaṃ as °pravartanaṃ. DP have sell ba, thus reading "to dispel the victorious [war]play of the forces of the asuras."
- I follow MB apramādapadasaṃniyojanatayā (supported by DP bag yod pa’i gnas la rab tu sbyor bas) against J apramādasaṃniyojanatayā.
- Skt. vivecana usually means "distinction" or "examination" (corresponding to DP ram par ’byed pa). However, as de Jong points out, in Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit, vivecayati means "causing to abandon,"dissuading from." This seems to fit the present context of standing in contrast to "bringing close to" (upasaṃharaṇa) better.
