།གང་ཕྱིར་སྐྱེ་ཀུན་ཕ་ཉིད་དང་།
།ཕན་བདེ་ཆོ་འཕྲུལ་གསུམ་ལྡན་པ།
།དེ་ཕྱིར་ཐུབ་དབྱངས་ལྷ་རྫས་ཀྱི།
།སིལ་སྙན་རྣམས་ལས་ཁྱད་པར་འཕགས།

Dege, PHI, 137

Since it is universal, beneficial, pleasant,
And endowed with the three miraculous displays,
The voice of the sage is more eminent
Than the divine cymbals.

When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 443 ^[3]

Universelle, bénéfique, source de bonheur,

Dotée du pouvoir des trois prodiges,

La voix du Sage est éminemment

Supérieure aux cymbales des dieux.

VT (fol. 16r4) glosses "three miraculous displays" as "display, pointing out, and miraculous powers" (deśanā, ādeśanā [text: adeśanā], ṛddhi). Usually, the three kinds of miraculous displays are explained to be the activities of a buddha’s body (displaying miraculous powers), speech (teaching the dharma in accordance with the minds of those to be guided), and mind (demonstrating the remedies for the afflictions through samādhi).
