1. /gal te phung po bdag yin na/
/skye dang 'jig pa can du 'gyur/
/gal te phung po rnams las gzhan/
/phung po'i mtshan nyid med par 'gyur//
1. If the aggregates were self, it would be possessed of arising and decaying. If it were other than the aggregates, it would not have the characteristics of the aggregates.

/bdag gi yod pa ga la 'gyur/
/bdag dang bdag gi zhi ba'i phyir/

2. If the self did not exist, where could what is mine exist? In order to pacify self and what is mine, grasping I and grasping mine can exist no more.

3. /ngar 'dzin nga yir 'dzin med gang/
/de yang yod pa ma yin te/
/ngar 'dzin nga yir 'dzin med par/
/gang gis mthong basmi mthong ngo//
3. The one who does not grasp at me and mine likewise does not exist. Whoever sees the one who does not grasp at me and mine does not see. ([c-d are omitted from the translated verse on the grounds of their being a reiteration of a-b])

4. /nang dang phyi rol nyid dag la/

4. When one ceases thinking of inner and outer things as self and mine, clinging will come to a stop. Through that ceasing, birth will cease.

5. /las dang nyon mongs zad pas thar/
/las dang nyon mongs rnam rtog las/
/de dag spros las spros pa ni/
/stong pa nyid kyis 'gag par 'gyur//
5. Through the ceasing of action and affliction, there is freedom. Action and affliction [come] from thoughts and they from fixations. Fixations are stopped by emptiness.

6. /bdag go zhes kyang btags gyur cing/
/bdag med ces kyang bstan par 'gyur/
/sangs rgyas rnams kyis bdag dang ni/
/bdag med 'ga' med ces kyang bstan//
6. It is said that "there is a self," but "non-self" too is taught. The buddhas also teach there is nothing which is "neither self nor non-self." (Tsongkhapa (325) cites the Kasyapaparvrtti as a source here).

7. /brjod par bya ba ldog pa ste/
/sems kyi spyod yul ldog pas so/
/ma skyes pa dang ma 'gags pa/
/chos nyid mya ngan 'das dang mtshungs//
7. That to which language refers is denied, because an object experienced by the mind is denied. The unborn and unceasing nature of reality is comparable to nirvana. [Tsongkhapa (326) explains that c-d are an answer to the question implied in 5c-d, i.e. "how does emptiness stop fixations?"]

8. /thams cad yang dag yang dag min/
/yang dag yang dag ma yin nyid/
/yang dag min min yang dag min/
/de ni sangs rgyas rjes bstan pa'o//
8. Everything is real, not real; both real and not real; neither not real nor real: this is the teaching of the Buddha.

9. /gzhan las shes min zhi ba dang/

/de ni re zhig de nyid min/
/de las gzhan pa'ang ma yin phyir/
/de phyir chad min rtag ma yin//
10. Whatever arises dependent on something else is at that time neither that very thing nor other than it. Hence it is neither severed nor permanent.

Buddhapalita commentary: Not the same, not different, not severed, not permanent - that is the ambrosial teaching of the buddha, the guardian of the world.]
11. That ambrosial teaching of the buddhas, those guardians of the world, is neither the same nor different, neither severed nor permanent.
