divye cakṣuṣi śāntau ca jñānaṃ daśavidhaṃ balam
E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[2]
།ཉོན་མོངས་དྲི་མ་མེད་པ་དང་།
།གནས་ནི་རྗེས་སུ་དྲན་པ་དང་།
།ལྷ་ཡི་མིག་དང་ཞི་བ་དག
།མཁྱེན་པའི་སྟོབས་ནི་རྣམ་པ་བཅུ།
Afflicted and stainless dhyānas and so on,
Recollection of [former birth]places,
The divine eye, and peace—
Knowing these represents the ten kinds of power.
Souillées ou immaculées,
Le souvenir des existences [passées],
L’œil divin et l’apaisement
Voilà les dix forces de connaissance.
