You have perfected all the precious qualities of discipline and learning, and hold all the classes of Buddha’s teaching,

Graced with the blessing of the lama Mañjuśrī, you are a vidyādhara master

Supreme at conveying the definitive secret teaching of Dzogpachenpo—the Vajra Essence.

Glorious lama, at your feet I pray!
