བསོད་ནམས་ཀྱིས་ནི་ལུས་བདེ་ལ། །

མཁས་པ་ཡིས་ནི་སེམས་བདེ་ན། །
གཞན་དོན་འཁོར་བར་གནས་ནས་ཀྱང༌། །

སྙིང་རྗེ་ཅན་དག་ཅི་སྟེ་སྐྱོ། །

When their bodies are well because of their merit,
And their minds are happy because of their wisdom,
Even if they stay on in saṃsāra for the benefit of others,
How could the compassionate ones ever be despondent?
