Buddha, dharma, assembly, basic element,<br>
Awakening, qualities, and finally buddha activity–<br>
The body of the entire treatise<br>
Is summarized in these seven vajra points. +

bodhirguṇāḥ karma ca bauddhamantyam<br>

The Buddha, the Doctrine, and the Community,<br>
The Essence [of the Buddha], the Supreme Enlightenment,<br>
The Virtuous Qualities [of the Buddha],<br>
And, last of all, the Act of the Buddha; —<br>
These are the 7 Adamantine Subjects, [which show]<br>
Briefly, the body of the whole text. +
acintyādvayaniṣkalpaśuddhivyaktivipakṣataḥ<br>yo yena ca virāgo'sau dharmaḥ satyadvilakṣaṇaḥ +
By virtue of its being inconceivable, free from the dual, nonconceptual,<br>Pure, manifesting, and a remedial factor,<br>It is what is and what makes free from attachment, respectively—<br>The dharma that is characterized by the two realities. +
Similarly, the Sugata beholds his own true nature<br>With his buddha eye even in those who dwell in the Avīci [hell]<br>And thus, as the one who is unobscured, remains until the end of time,<br>And has the character of compassion, frees it from the obscurations. +

Just as someone with the divine eye would perceive an ugly shriveled lotus<br>And a sugata dwelling enclosed in it, thus cutting apart its petals,<br>So the sage beholds the buddha heart obscured by the sheaths of the stains such as desire and hatred,<br>Thus annihilating its obscurations out of his compassion for the world. +
Suppose a clever person were to see<br>Honey surrounded by a swarm of insects<br>And, striving for it, would completely separate it<br>From the swarm of insects with the [proper] means. +
yathā madhu prāṇigaṇopagūḍhaṃ<br>vilokya vidvān puruṣastadarthī<br>samantataḥ prāṇigaṇasya tasmā-<br>dupāyato'pakramaṇaṃ prakuryāt +

Similarly, the great seer sees that this basic element,<br>Which he perceives with his omniscient eye, is like honey<br>And thus accomplishes the complete removal<br>Of its obscurations that are like bees. +
Just as a person striving for the honey that is covered by billions of insects<br>Would remove them from the honey and use that honey as wished,<br>So the uncontaminated wisdom in beings is like honey, the afflictions are like bees,<br>And the victor who knows how to destroy them resembles that person. +

The kernel in grains united with its husks<br>[Can] not be eaten by people,<br>But those wanting food and so on<br>Extract it from its husks. +

Similarly, the state of a victor in sentient beings,<br>Which is obscured by the stains of the afflictions,<br>Does not perform the activity of a perfect buddha in the three existences<br>For as long as it is not liberated from the afflictions added on [to it]. +
