།ཉོན་མོངས་གོམས་ན་གཉེན་པོས་ཟློག་དཀར་བས། །དྲན་ཤེས་སྐྱེས་བུས་གཉེན་པོའི་མཚོན་བཟུང་ནས། །ཆགས་སོགས་ཉོན་མོངས་དང་པོ་སྐྱེས་མ་ཐག །འབུར་འཇོམས་བྱེད་པར་རྒྱལ་སྲས་ལག་ལེན་ཡིན།

[AP] The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to slay attachment

And the rest—mind’s afflictions—at once, the very moment they arise,

Taking as weapons the remedies held with mindfulness and vigilance.

For once the kleshas have become familiar, they’ll be harder to avert.

[KM] When reactive emotions acquire momentum, it’s hard to make remedies work.

A person in attention wields remedies like weapons,

Crushing reactive emotions such as craving

As soon as they arise — this is the practice of a bodhisattva.

[RS] Habitual disturbing emotions are hard to stop through counteractions.

Armed with antidotes, the guards of mindfulness and mental alertness

Destroy disturbing emotions like attachment

At once, as soon as they arise—

This is the practice of Bodhisattvas.

[AB] A bodhisattva’s practice is to have the servicemen of mindfulness and alertness hold the opponent weapons and forcefully to destroy

disturbing emotions and attitudes, like attachment and so forth, as soon as they first arise, because, when we are habituated to disturbing

emotions and attitudes, it is difficult for opponents to make them retreat.
