སྤྱོད་འཇུག་ལས། From Bodhisattvacaryavatara:
དེ་བས་སྐྱོ་ངལ་ཀུན་སེལ་བའི། ། That which dispels all discouragement and despondency
བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་ཀྱི་རྟ་ཞོན་ནས། ། Having mounted the horse of the awakening mind
བདེ་ནས་བདེ་བར་འགྲོ་བ་ལ། ། Who, when they know of this mind that proceeds from joy to joy
སེམས་ཤེས་སུ་ཞིག་སྒྱིད་ལུག་འགྱུར། ། Would ever lapse into despondency?
Order in English:
That which dispels all discouragement and despondency
Having mounted the horse of the awakening mind
Who, when they know of this mind that proceeds from joy to joy
Would ever lapse into despondency (discouragement)?
Trans. S. Batchelor
