The first body is endowed with
The qualities of freedom, such as the powers,
And the second one, with those of maturation,
Which are the marks of a great being.

Le premier corps est doté des forces

Et des autres qualités de séparation ; Le second possède les marques des grands êtres, Qui sont des qualités de maturation.

  4. VT (fol. 15v1–2) again glosses "the first body" as the sambhogakāya and "the second one" as the nirmāṇakāya.

nirmāṇakāya - An fully enlightened Buddha is said to have the power to manifest in many forms in order to help the sentient beings. The emanation body of a buddha, as the third of the three bodies of a buddha, refers to the many forms in which a buddha can manifest and which are accessible to ordinary sentient beings. Buddhist scholars present four types of emanation bodies: emanation as supreme being, emanation as rebirth, emanation as artisan and emanation in diverse forms.
