1. sngon mtha' mngon nam zhes zhus tshe/<br>
thub pa chen pos min zhes gsungs/<br>
'khor ba thog ma tha med de/<br>
de la sngon med phyi ma med/<br>
 
1. When asked, "is a before-extreme evident?" the great Muni said, "it is not." Samsara has no beginning, no end; it has no before, no after.
 
 
 
2. gang la thog med tha med par/<br>
de la dbus ni ga la yod/<br>
de phyir de la snga phyi dang/<br>
lhan cig rim pa mi 'thad do/<br>
 
2. For that without beginning [and] end, where can a middle be in that? Therefore, it is not possible for it to have before, after, and simultaneous phases.
 
 
 
3. gal te skye ba snga gyur la/<br>
rga shi phyi ma yin na ni/<br>
skye ba rga shi med pa dang/<br>
ma shi bar yang skye bar 'gyur/<br>
 
3. If birth were before and aging / death after, there would be birth without aging / death and also without dying one would be born.
 
 
 
4. gal te skye ba 'phyi 'gyur la/<br>
rga shi snga ba* yin na ni/<br>
skye ba med pa'i rga shi ni/<br>
rgyu med par ni ji ltar 'gyur/<br>
 
['''Lha.''' *ma]
 
4. If birth were after and aging / death before, how could there be an uncaused aging / death which has no birth?
 
 
 
5. skye ba dang ni rga shi dag/<br>
lhan cig rung ba ma yin te/<br>
skye bzhin pa ni 'chi 'gyur zhing/<br>
gnyis ka rgyu med can du 'gyur/<br>
 
5. It is not suitable for birth and aging / death to be simultaneous; that which is being born would be dying and both would be without cause.
 
 
 
6. gang la snga phyi lhan cig gi/<br>
rim pa de dag mi srid pa'i/<br>
skye ba de dang rga shi de/<br>
ci yi phyir na spro* bar byed/<br>
 
['''Lha.''' *spros]
 
6. Why fixate on that birth, that aging / dying, for which the phases of before, after, simultaneity are impossible?
 
 
 
7. 'khor ba 'ba' zhig sngon gyi mtha'/<br>
yod ma yin par ma zad kyi/<br>
rgyu dang 'bras bu nyid dang ni/<br>
mtshan nyid dang ni mtshan gzhi nyid/<br>
 
7. It is not just samsara alone that has no before-extreme, cause and fruit themselves, and characteristics and the basis for characteristics themselves,
 
 
 
8. tshor dang tshor po nyid dang ni/<br>
don yod gang dag ci yang rung/<br>
dngos rnams thams cad nyid la yang/<br>
sngon gyi mtha' ni yod ma yin/<br>
 
8. feeling and the feeler, whatever is suitable to bear meaning, also all things have no before-extreme.
 
sngon dang phyi ma'i mtha' brtag pa zhes bya ste rab tu byed pa bcu gcig pa'o//<br>
