न व्ययो न स्थितिश्चित्तप्रकृतेर्व्योमधातुवत्
na vyayo na sthitiścittaprakṛtervyomadhātuvat
།ཁམས་ལྟར་རྒྱུ་མེད་རྐྱེན་མེད་དེ།
།ཚོགས་པ་མེད་ཅིང་སྐྱེ་བ་དང་།
།འཇིག་དང་གནས་ལའང་ཡོད་མ་ཡིན།
Lacking aggregation, and lacking
Arising, ceasing, and abiding,
The nature of the mind resembles space.
De l’esprit n’a ni cause ni condition Et n’est pas une combinaison ; elle n’a pas non plus De naissance, de cessation et de durée.

Holmes (1985) [3]
- The nature of mind is like the space element:
- it has neither causes, nor conditions
- nor these in any combination,
- nor any arising, destruction or abiding.
Fuchs (2000) [4]
- The nature of mind as the element of space
- does not [depend upon] causes or conditions,
- nor does it [depend on] a gathering of these.
- It has neither arising, cessation, nor abiding.
