बलत्वमज्ञानवृतेषु वज्रव-
द्विशारदत्वं परिषत्सु सिंहवत्
तथागतावेणिकतान्तरीक्षवन्
मुनेर्द्विधादर्शनमम्बुचन्द्रवत्

།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།
Dege, PHI, 130
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.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 429 [3]
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.

āvaraṇa - Literally, that which obscures or conceals. Often listed as a set of two obscurations (sgrib gnyis): the afflictive emotional obscurations (Skt. kleśāvaraṇa, Tib. nyon mongs pa'i sgrib pa) and the cognitive obscurations (Skt. jñeyāvaraṇa, Tib. shes bya'i sgrib pa). By removing the first, one becomes free of suffering, and by removing the second, one becomes omniscient. Skt. आवरण Tib. སྒྲིབ་པ་

avidyā - Literally "unknowing," it refers to a lack of knowledge or misunderstanding of the nature of reality. As such, it is considered to be the root cause of suffering and the basis for the arising of all other negative mental factors. Skt. अविद्या Tib. མ་རིག་པ་ Ch. 無明
