།ཐུབ་པ་ཁྱུ་མཆོག་སྦྲང་རྩི་སྙིང་པོ་དང་།
།རིན་ཆེན་གསེར་དང་གཏེར་དང་ལྗོན་པ་བཞིན།
།དྲི་མེད་རིན་ཆེན་བདེ་གཤེགས་སྐུ་དང་ནི།
།ས་བདག་གསེར་གྱི་གཟུགས་འདྲ་རྒྱལ་བ་ཉིད།
།རིན་ཆེན་གསེར་དང་གཏེར་དང་ལྗོན་པ་བཞིན།
།དྲི་མེད་རིན་ཆེན་བདེ་གཤེགས་སྐུ་དང་ནི།

The state of the victor is like the chief of sages, honey, a kernel, gold,
A treasure of excellent jewels, and a big fruit tree,
Like a stainless precious representation of the Sugata,
A supreme lord of the earth, and a golden image.
A treasure of excellent jewels, and a big fruit tree,
Like a stainless precious representation of the Sugata,
A supreme lord of the earth, and a golden image.
Le Vainqueur est comparable au plus grand des sages, au miel,
Au grain, à l’or précieux, à un trésor et à un grand arbre ; On le compare encore à une pure et précieuse image du Bouddha, À un maître de la terre et à une statue en or.
