- Tib. གཉིད་ནི་གཉིད་ཀྱི་རྒྱུ་ལ་བརྟེན་ནས་དགེ་མི་དགེ་རིགས་མི་རིགས་དུས་དུས་མིན་སོགས་ཀྱི་རྣམ་འབྱེད་མེད་པར་སྒོ་ལྔའི་ཤེས་པ་ནང་དུ་སྡུད་པར་བྱེད་པ་གཏི་མུག་གི་ཆར་གཏོགས་པ་བྱ་བ་ཤོར་བའི་རྟེན་བྱེད་པའོ།

It belongs to the category of delusion and forms the support for loosing time to do things. (Rigpa Translations)
