Verse I.25 Variations
अविनिर्भागधर्मत्वादनाभोगाविकल्पतः
avinirbhāgadharmatvādanābhogāvikalpataḥ
།ཀུན་ནས་ཉོན་མོངས་མེད་དག་ཕྱིར།
།རྣམ་པར་དབྱེ་བ་མེད་ཆོས་ཕྱིར།
།ལྷུན་གྲུབ་རྣམ་པར་མི་རྟོག་ཕྱིར།
Since it is not afflicted and yet becomes pure,
Since its qualities are inseparable,
And since its activity is effortless and nonconceptual.
Parce que [l’Éveil] est dépourvu de souillures et pourtant purifié ; Parce que les qualités ne sont pas séparées [de l’essence du réel] ; Et parce que les [activités] spontanées ne recourent pas à la pensée.
