Verse IV.9 Variations
सर्वसत्त्वोपजीव्यत्वात् संभारद्वयमर्कवत्
sarvasattvopajīvyatvāt saṃbhāradvayamarkavat
།ལྡན་ཕྱིར་ས་རྣམས་རྒྱ་མཚོ་བཞིན།
།སེམས་ཅན་ཐམས་ཅད་ཉེར་འཚོའི་ཕྱིར།
།ཚོགས་གཉིས་དག་ནི་ཉི་མ་བཞིན།
The highest yāna resembles the ocean.
Since they sustain all sentient beings,
The two accumulations are like the sun.
Parce qu’on y trouve l’eau de la sagesse et les joyaux des qualités. Les deux accumulations ressemblent au soleil Parce qu’elles sustentent tous les êtres.
