རྒྱུ་མཐའ་ཡས་དང་སེམས་ཅན་ཟད་མེད་དང་། །
བརྩེ་དང་འཕྲུལ་དང་མཁྱེན་དང་ཕུན་ཚོགས་ལྡན། །
ཆོས་ཀྱི་དབང་ཕྱུག་འཆི་བའི་བདུད་བཅོམ་དང་། །
ངོ་བོ་མེད་ཕྱིར་འཇིག་རྟེན་མགོན་པོས་བརྟག །

Dege, PHI, 128-129

By virtue of the causes’ being infinite, by virtue of the realms of sentient beings being inexhaustible,
By virtue of being endowed with compassion, miraculous powers, wisdom, and fulfillment,
By virtue of mastering [all] dharmas, by virtue of having vanquished the māra of death,
And by virtue of lacking any nature, the protector of the world is permanent.

When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 426 ^[3]

En raison d’une infinité de causes et du nombre inépuisable des êtres,

Et comme l’amour, les prodiges, la connaissance et la perfection lui sont acquis, Qu’il domine les phénomènes, qu’il a vaincu le démon de la mort Et qu’il n’a pas d’essence, le Protecteur du monde est permanent.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) ^[4]

Called forth by causes that are infinite,

Having an endless number of living beings to convert,

Possessed of mercy, miraculous power, wisdom and of the complement of Bliss,

Governing all the elements, vanquishing the demon of Death,

And transcendental by nature,—the Lord of the World is eternal.

Takasaki (1966) ^[5]

Having infinite causes [for the attainment of his state],

Having an endless number of living beings to convert,

Being endowed with Compassion, Miraculous Powers, Wisdom and Bliss,

Governing all the elements, vanquishing the demon of Death,

And representing non-substantiality,

The lord of the World is eternal.

Fuchs (2000) ^[6]

There is permanence [since] the causes are endless and sentient beings inexhaustible [in number].

They have compassionate love, miraculous power, knowledge, and utter [bliss].

They are masters of [all] qualities. The demon of death has been vanquished.

Being not of the essence [of the compounded] it is the [true] protector of all worldly [beings].
