Verse IV.3 Variations
तद्विकल्पोदयाभावादनाभोगः सदा मुनेः
tadvikalpodayābhāvādanābhogaḥ sadā muneḥ
།བྱ་གང་གང་དུ་གང་གི་ཚེ།
།དེ་ཡི་རྣམ་རྟོག་སྐྱེ་མེད་ཕྱིར།
།ཐུབ་པ་རྟག་ཏུ་ལྷུན་གྱིས་གྲུབ།
For whom, whereby, where,
And when which guiding activity [is to be performed],
[The activity] of the sages is always effortless.
Quelle discipline ? Où ? Quand ? Comme le Sage n’a pas de ces pensées, Son action est toujours spontanée.
