सुरेन्द्रकायप्रतिबिम्बसंभवः

मुनीन्द्रकायप्रतिबिम्बसंभवः

tathā jagaccittamahītale śucau
munīndrakāyapratibimbasaṃbhavaḥ
།ལྷ་དབང་ལུས་ཀྱི་གཟུགས་བརྙན་སྣང་བ་ལྟར།
།དེ་བཞིན་འགྲོ་སེམས་ས་གཞི་གཙང་མ་ལ།
།ཐུབ་པའི་དབང་པོའི་སྐུ་ཡི་གཟུགས་བརྙན་འཆར།
The reflection of the body of the lord of gods appears,
On the pure ground of the minds of beings,
The reflection of the body of the lord of sages is displayed.
- De même que sur le sol pur en lapis-lazuli
- Apparaît le reflet du seigneur des dieux,
- Sur le sol pur de l’esprit des êtres,
- Apparaît le reflet du Seigneur des Sages.

- D100, fols. 278b.6–280b.1.
- DP "yāna."
- I follow MB saddharmakāyam adhyātmaṃ (corresponding to DP nang gi dam pa’i chos sku) against J saddharmakāyaṃ madhyasthaṃ.
- With Schmithausen and against Takasaki, I take the compound °viṣamasthānāntaramala as consisting of viṣamasthāna, antara, and mall.
- VT (fol. 16r4) glosses śubhra as "clear, transparent" (svacchā). Śubhra can also mean "radiant," "splendid," "spotless," and "bright"; DP have mazes pa.
- I follow Schmithausen’s suggested reading of MB surapatibhavanavyūhendramarutām against J surapatibhavanaṃ māhendramarutām, with °vyūha being supported by D tshogs (P mistakenly has sna tshogs instead of gas tshogs). The maruts are the storm gods who are the retinue of Indra.
- I follow de Jong’s suggested reading cittāny udpādayanti (supported by D seems rab bskyed byed; P mistakenly has gshegs instead of seems) against J cittān vyutpādayanti and Chowdury’s "correction" citrāṇy utpādayanati (see de Jong 1968, 50). Obviously, this refers to all the kinds of mind-sets that represent or flow from bodhicitta.
