Dege, PHI, 120
Similarly, always seeing the luminosity of [mind’s] nature
And that the stains are adventitious,
The one with the highest awakening purifies beings,
Who are like a jewel mine, from the obscurations.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 399 [2]
De même, voyant parfaitement que les souillures

De nature lumineuse sont fortuites, [Ceux qui ont atteint] l’Éveil suprême lavent de leurs voiles Les êtres comparables à des mines de joyaux.

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [6]
In a like way the Buddha perceives
That the Essence is pure and radiant and that the stains，
Are only occasional (and not real),
And leads (the living beings) to Supreme Enlightenment
Which purifies from all the Obscurations
The living beings resembling jewel-mines.
Takasaki (1966) [7]
Similarly, the One who has got the highest Enlightenment,
Perceiving always the radiance of the Innate Mind
And the occasionality of the stains,
Purifies the world, which is like a mine of jewels, from obstructions.
Fuchs (2000) [8]
Likewise those of supreme enlightenment
fully see that there are defilements [on] the luminous nature,
but that these stains are just adventitious,
and purify beings, who are like jewel mines, from all their veils.
