མི་རྟག་སྡུག་བསྔལ་བདག་མེད་དང་། །
ཞི་བའི་སྒྲ་ཡིས་བག་མེད་པའི། །
ལྷ་རྣམས་ཐམས་ཅད་ཡང་དང་ཡང་། །
ཆོས་ཀྱི་རྔས་ནི་སྐུལ་བྱེད་ལྟར། །
ཞི་བའི་སྒྲ་ཡིས་བག་མེད་པའི། །
ལྷ་རྣམས་ཐམས་ཅད་ཡང་དང་ཡང་། །
ཆོས་ཀྱི་རྔས་ནི་སྐུལ་བྱེད་ལྟར། །
The drum of the gods again and again
Summons all the heedless gods
Through the sounds "impermanence,"
"Suffering," "lack of self," and "peace,"
Summons all the heedless gods
Through the sounds "impermanence,"
"Suffering," "lack of self," and "peace,"
Le tambour du Dharma exhorte encore
Et toujours les dieux insouciants, Au son des mots : impermanence, Souffrance, irréalité du soi et paix.

- Skt. vivecana usually means "distinction" or "examination" (corresponding to DP ram par ’byed pa). However, as de Jong points out, in Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit, vivecayati means "causing to abandon,"dissuading from." This seems to fit the present context of standing in contrast to "bringing close to" (upasaṃharaṇa) better.
