चिन्तामणिनिभं तद्वन्न च नो दुर्लभोदयम्
cintāmaṇinibhaṃ tadvanna ca no durlabhodayam
།མུན་པ་འཇོམས་མིན་དེ་འདྲ་མིན།
།ཡིད་བཞིན་ནོར་འདྲ་འབྱུང་བ་ནི།
།རྙེད་པར་མི་དཀའ་དེ་འདྲ་མིན།
In that [the latter] does not dispel darkness completely.
[In dispelling darkness,] it is similar to a wish-fulfilling jewel and yet is dissimilar
In that [the latter] is not as difficult to be obtained.
Parce que le soleil ne vainc pas les ténèbres une bonne fois pour toutes. Il est comparable au Joyau magique mais en diffère Parce qu’il n’est pas difficile de trouver ce joyau.
