Verse I.95 Variations

जिनगर्भव्यस्थानमित्येवं दशंधोदितम्
तत्क्लेशकोशगर्भत्वं पुनर्ज्ञेयं निदर्शनैः
jinagarbhavyasthānamityevaṃ daśaṃdhoditam
tatkleśakośagarbhatvaṃ punarjñeyaṃ nidarśanaiḥ

དེ་ལྟར་རྒྱལ་བའི་སྙིང་པོ་ནི། །
རྣམ་གཞག་རྣམ་པ་བཅུ་ཞེས་བརྗོད། །
ཉོན་མོངས་སྦུབས་ནང་གནས་པ་དེ། །
དཔེ་དག་གིས་ནི་ཤེས་པར་བྱ། །
The presentation of the heart of the victors
Has been discussed in this way in ten aspects.
Now, its being enclosed by the cocoon of the afflictions
Should be understood through examples.
向說如來藏 十種義示現
次說煩惱纏 以九種譬喻
Voilà donc les dix points qui définissent
La quintessence des Vainqueurs.
Il s’impose maintenant d’en reconnaître la présence
Dans l’enveloppe des affections en s’aidant de comparaisons.
