།སྣོད་དང་རིན་ཆེན་ཆུ་ཡིས་ནི།
།རྒྱ་མཚོ་དང་ནི་མཚུངས་པར་བསྟན།

Since the basic element consists of the dharmakāya,
As well as the wisdom and the compassion of the victor,
It is taught to be like the ocean
In terms of a vessel, jewels, and water.
As well as the wisdom and the compassion of the victor,
It is taught to be like the ocean
In terms of a vessel, jewels, and water.
Comme [cet Élément] inclut les domaines du corps absolu,
De la sagesse des Vainqueurs et de la compassion, L’enseignement le compare à l’Océan Sous le rapport du réceptacle, des joyaux et de l’eau.
