།སངས་རྒྱས་ཆོས་དབྱེར་མེད་པ་དང་།
།དེ་རིགས་དེ་བཞིན་ཐོབ་པ་དང་།
།བརྫུན་མེད་བསླུ་མེད་ཆོས་ཉིད་དང་།
།གདོད་ནས་རང་བཞིན་ཞི་ཉིད་དོ།
།དེ་རིགས་དེ་བཞིན་ཐོབ་པ་དང་།

[They] are the inseparability of the buddha attributes,
The disposition for that having been obtained just as it is,
Its true nature’s being without falsity and deception,
And its being natural primordial peace.
The disposition for that having been obtained just as it is,
Its true nature’s being without falsity and deception,
And its being natural primordial peace.
[L’immensité non contaminée], c’est la bouddhéité
indissociable de ses qualités, La filiation obtenue telle quelle, L’essence du réel qui ne ment ni ne trompe Et la paix naturelle des origines.

Obermiller (1931) [3]
- (It is the Cosmical Body, since)
- The properties of the Buddha are indivisible (manifesting themselves in all that exists).
- (It is the Buddha)—
- Because the Germ has developed in him into the Absolute.
- (It is the Highest Truth), being neither error nor illusion,
- (And it is Nirvāṇa), being by nature quiescent from the outset.
Takasaki (1966) [4]
- It is indivisible from the Buddha's Properties,
- Its Germ has been perfected as it is,
- It is not of false, deceptive nature,
- And it is quiescent from the very outset.
Fuchs (2000) [5]
- Buddha qualities are indivisible.
- The disposition is attained as it is.
- The true state is [always] free from any fickleness and deceit.
- Since beginningless time the nature has been peace itself.
