'''5. Investigation of the Elements'''
 
'''''(Space)'''''
 
 
 
1. nam mkha'i mtshan nyid snga rol na/<br>
nam mkha' cung zad yod ma yin/<br>
gal te mtshan las snga gyur na/<br>
mtshan nyid med par thal bar 'gyur/<br>
 
1. Not the slightest bit of space exists prior to the characteristics of space. If [space] existed prior to its characteristics, it would follow that it would be without characteristics.
 
 
 
2.  mtshan nyid med pa'i dngos po ni/<br>
'ga' yang gang na'ang yod ma yin/<br>
mtshan nyid med pa'i dngos med na/<br>
mtshan nyid gang du 'jug par 'gyur/<br>
 
2. A thing without characteristics does not exist anywhere at all. If a thing without characteristics does not exist, to what do characteristics extend?
 
 
 
3. mtshan nyid med la mtshan nyid ni/<br>
mi 'jug mtshan nyid bcas la min/<br>
mtshan bcas mtshan nyid med pa las/<br>
gzhan la'ang 'jug par mi 'gyur ro/<br>
 
3. Characteristics do not extend to that which has no characteristics; nor to what possesses characteristics. They also cannot extend to something other than what either possesses or does not have characteristics.
 
 
 
4. mtshan nyid 'jug pa ma yin na/<br>
mtshan gzhi 'thad par mi 'gyur ro/<br>
mtshan gzhi 'thad pa ma yin na/<br>
mtshan nyid kyang ni yod ma yin/<br>
 
4. If characteristics do not extend [to something] , something characterized would be impossible. If something characterized is impossible, characteristics too would not exist.
 
 
 
5. de phyir mtshan gzhi yod min te/<br>
mtshan nyid yod pa nyid ma yin/<br>
mtshan gzhi mtshan nyid ma gtogs pa'i/<br>
dngos po yang ni yod ma yin/<br>
 
5. Therefore, something characterized does not exist and characteristics do not exist. There also does not exist a thing which is apart from being something characterized or a characteristic.
 
 
 
6. dngos po yod pa ma yin na/<br>
dngos med gang gi yin par 'gyur/<br>
dngos dang dngos med mi mthun chos/<br>
gang gis dngos dang dngos med shes/<br>
 
6. If there is not a thing, of what can there be a non-thing? By whom are the opposites thing and non-thing known [as] a thing and a non-thing?
 
['''Ts.''' 140 understands "a thing" to refer to the obstructive matter of which space, as a negation and hence a non-thing, is a negation of.]
 
 
 
7. de phyir nam mkha' dngos po min/<br>
dngos med ma yin mtshan gzhi min/<br>
mtshan nyid ma yin khams lnga po/<br>
gzhan gang dag kyang nam mkha' mtshungs/<br>
 
7. Therefore, space is not a thing; it is not a non-thing; it is not something characterized; it is not a characteristic. The other five elements too are similar to space.
 
 
 
8. blo chung gang dag dngos rnams la/<br>
yod pa nyid dang med nyid du/<br>
blta ba des ni blta bya ba/<br>
nye bar zhi ba zhi mi mthong/<br>
 
8. Those of small minds see things as existent and non-existent. They do not behold the utter pacification of what is seen.
 
khams brtag pa zhes bya ba ste rab tu byed pa lnga pa'o//<br>
