शुभं प्रकृतिशुद्धत्वादमलं मलहानितः
śubhaṃ prakṛtiśuddhatvādamalaṃ malahānitaḥ

།དགེ་བ་རང་བཞིན་དག་པའི་ཕྱིར།
།དྲི་མེད་དྲི་མ་སྤངས་ཕྱིར་རོ།
It is ungraspable since it has no characteristics.
It is splendid because it is pure by nature.
It is stainless because the stains are eliminated.
Insaisissable parce qu’il n’a pas de caractéristiques ; Vertueux parce qu’il est pur par nature ; Immaculé parce qu’il n’a plus de souillures.
