नाभिनिर्वर्तयत्येनं कर्मक्लेशाम्बुसंचयः
न निर्दहत्युदीर्णोऽपि मृत्युव्याधिजरानलः

nābhinirvartayatyenaṃ karmakleśāmbusaṃcayaḥ
na nirdahatyudīrṇo'pi mṛtyuvyādhijarānalaḥ

E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.^[1]

།ལས་དང་ཉོན་མོངས་ཆུ་སོགས་ཀྱིས།
།འདི་ནི་མངོན་པར་འགྲུབ་མིན་ཏེ།
།འཆི་དང་ན་དང་རྒ་བའི་མེ།
།མི་བཟད་པས་ཀྱང་འཚིག་མི་འགྱུར།

Dege, PHI, 114

The mass of water-like karma
And afflictions does not generate it,
Nor do the raging fires of death,
Sickness, and aging consume it.

When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 376 ^[2]

L’eau des affections et des actes

Ne saurait la produire, guère plus

Que ne sauraient la consumer les feux insupportables

De la maladie, de la vieillesse et de la mort.
