།འདིས་ཅི་བསྟན་ཞེ་ན། འདུས་མ་བྱས་ཤིང་ལྷུན་གྱིས་གྲུབ། །གཞན་གྱི་རྐྱེན་གྱིས་རྟོགས་{br}མིན་པ། །མཁྱེན་དང་བརྩེ་དང་ནུས་པར་ལྡན། །དོན་གཉིས་ལྡན་པའི་སངས་རྒྱས་ཉིད། །འདིས་ནི་མདོར་བསྡུ་ན། ཡོན་ཏན་བརྒྱད་དང་ལྡན་པའི་སངས་རྒྱས་ཉིད་བརྗོད་དོ། །ཡོན་ཏན་བརྒྱད་གང་ཞེ་ན། འདུས་མ་བྱས་པ་ཉིད་དང་། ལྷུན་གྱིས་གྲུབ་པ་དང་། གཞན་{br}གྱི་རྐྱེན་གྱིས་མངོན་པར་རྟོགས་པ་མ་ཡིན་པ་དང་། ཡེ་ཤེས་དང་། ཐུགས་རྗེ་དང་། ནུས་པ་དང་། རང་གི་དོན་ཕུན་སུམ་ཚོགས་པ་དང་། གཞན་གྱི་དོན་ཕུན་སུམ་ཚོགས་པའོ།

Other English translations[edit]

Obermiller (1931) [5]
Immutable, free from effort,
Incognizable from without,
Endowed with Wisdom, Love, and Power,
And pursuing a twofold aim—such is Buddhahood.
Takasaki (1966) [6]
Being immutable, free from efforts
And not being dependent upon the others,
[Also] Being endowed with Wisdom, Compassion and [supernatural] Power [imparted by both],
The Buddhahood has two kinds of benefit.
Fuchs (2000) [7]
Being uncreated and spontaneously present,
not a realization due to extraneous conditions,
wielding knowledge, compassionate love, and ability,
buddhahood has [the qualities of] the two benefits.
