བསམ་མེད་གཉིས་མེད་རྟོག་མེད་པ། །
དག་གསལ་གཉེན་པོའི་ཕྱོགས་ཉིད་ཀྱིས། །
གང་ཞིག་གང་གིས་ཆགས་བྲལ་བ། །
བདེན་གཉིས་མཚན་ཉིད་ཅན་དེ་ཆོས། །
དག་གསལ་གཉེན་པོའི་ཕྱོགས་ཉིད་ཀྱིས། །
གང་ཞིག་གང་གིས་ཆགས་བྲལ་བ། །
བདེན་གཉིས་མཚན་ཉིད་ཅན་དེ་ཆོས། །
By virtue of its being inconceivable, free from the dual, nonconceptual,
Pure, manifesting, and a remedial factor,
It is what is and what makes free from attachment, respectively—
The dharma that is characterized by the two realities.

Inconcevable, libre de deux [voiles] et de la pensée,
Le Dharma est pureté, clarté et antidote. Libre de l’attachement dont il délivre, Il a pour caractéristiques les deux vérités.

Obermiller (1931) [4]
- Unthinkable, free from both (the causes of Phenomenal Life) and from Differentiation,
- Pure, illuminating，and the Antidote (of defilement),
- The deliverance from passions and that which leads to such;
- Contained in the 2 (last) Truths—such is the Doctrine.—
Takasaki (1966) [5]
- Because of its being unthinkable, non-dual, and being non-discriminative,
- And because of its pureness, manifestation and hostility;
- The Doctrine, which is Deliverance and also by which arises Deliverance
- Has the characteristics of the two Truths.
Fuchs (2000) [6]
- Inconceivable, free from the two [veils] and from thought,
- being pure, clear, and playing the part of an antidote,
- it is free from attachment and frees from attachment.
- This is the Dharma with its features of the two truths.
