།སངས་རྒྱས་ལས་ཆོས་ཆོས་ལས་འཕགས་པའི་ཚོགས།

།ཚོགས་ལས་སྙིང་པོ་ཡེ་ཤེས་ཁམས་ཐོབ་མཐར།
།ཡེ་ཤེས་དེ་ཐོབ་བྱང་ཆུབ་མཆོག་ཐོབ་སོགས།
།སེམས་ཅན་ཀུན་དོན་བྱེད་ཆོས་རྣམས་དང་ལྡན།

Dege, PHI, 111

From the Buddha [comes] the dharma and from the dharma, the noble saṃgha.

Within the saṃgha, the [tathāgata] heart leads to the attainment of wisdom.
The attainment of that wisdom is the supreme awakening that is endowed with
The attributes such as the powers that promote the welfare of all sentient beings.

When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 336. ^[2]

次法復有僧
僧次無礙性
從性次有智
十力等功德
為一切眾生
而作利益業
有如是次第

CBETA T31n1611_p0822b06

From the Buddha comes the Doctrine,

Owing to the Doctrine there is the Holy Community,
In the Community exists the Matrix, which is
The element of Wisdom, aiming at its acquisition;
Its acquisition of the Wisdom is the Supreme Enlightenment,
Which is endowed with the Qualities, 10 Powers and others,
And accompanied by altruistic Acts for all living beings.

Takasaki, p. 153-154^[3], from Sanskrit with reference to the Chinese.

Du Bouddha vient le Dharma et du Dharma

la Communauté des êtres sublimes.

De la Communauté vient l’obtention de la quintessence,

l’Élément de la sagesse primordiale.

Enfin, l’obtention de cette sagesse est l’Éveil suprême doté des forces Et des autres qualités utiles au bien de tous les êtres.
