/skye dang 'jig pa can du 'gyur/
/gal te phung po rnams las gzhan/

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.

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. 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.

/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.

/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/

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.
