2. lta de rang gi bdag nyid ni/
de la lta ba ma yin nyid/
gang zhig bdag la mi lta ba/
de dag gzhan* la ji ltar lta//
2. Seeing does not see itself. How can what does not see itself see anything else?
ལྟ་བ་རབ་ཏུ་བསྒྲུབ་པའི་ཕྱིར།
མེ་ཡི་དཔེས་ནི་ནུས་མ་ཡིན།
སོང་དང་མ་སོང་བགོམ་པ་ཡིས།
དེ་ནི་ལྟ་བཅས་ལན་བཏབ་བོ།།
3. lta ba rab tu bsgrub pa'i phyir/
me yi dpes ni nus ma yin/
song dang ma song bgom pa yis/
de ni lta bcas lan btab bo//
3. The example of fire is not able to fully establish seeing. It, along with seeing, has been refuted by gone, not gone and going.
གང་ཚེ་ཅུང་ཟད་མི་ལྟ་བར།
ལྟ་བར་བྱེད་པ་མ་ཡིན་ནོ།
བལྟ་བས་ལྟ་བར་བྱེད་ཅེས་བྱར།
དེ་ནི་ཇི་ལྟར་རིགས་པར་འགྱུར།།
4. gang tshe cung zad mi lta bar/
lta bar byed pa ma yin no/
blta bas lta bar byed ces byar/
de ni ji ltar rigs par 'gyur//
4. When not seeing the slightest thing, there is no act of seeing. How can it [then] be reasonable to say: seeing sees?
ལྟ་བ་ལྟ་ཉིད་མ་ཡིན་ཏེ།
ལྟ་བ་མིན་པ་མི་ལྟ་ཉིད།
ལྟ་བ་ཉིད་ཀྱིས་ལྟ་བ་པོའང།

lta ba min pa mi lta nyid/
lta ba nyid kyis lta ba po'ang/
rnam par bshad par shes par bya//

rnam par shes la sogs pa bzhi/
yod min nye bar len la sogs/
ji lta bur na yod par 'gyur//
