<span class=TibUni18>ནམ་མཁའ་ཅུང་ཟད་ཡོད་མ་ཡིན།</span><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.

<span class=TibUni18>འགའ་ཡང་གང་ནའང་ཡོད་མ་ཡིན།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>མཚན་ཉིད་མེད་པའི་དངོས་མེད་ན།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>མཚན་ཉིད་གང་དུ་འཇུག་པར་འགྱུར།།</span><br>
 
2.  [[mtshan nyid med pa]]'i [[dngos po]] [[ni]]/<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?

<span class=TibUni18>མི་འཇུག་མཚན་ཉིད་བཅས་ལ་མིན།</span><br>

<span class=TibUni18>གཞན་ལའང་འཇུག་པར་མི་འགྱུར་ཨོར།།</span><br>
 
3. [[mtshan nyid]] [[med la]] [[mtshan nyid]] [[ni]]/<br>

[[mtshan bcas]] [[mtshan nyid med pa]] [[las]]/<br>
[[gzhan]] [[la'ang]] [['jug pa]]r [[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.

<span class=TibUni18>མཚན་གཞི་འཐད་པ་མ་ཡིན་ན།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>མཚན་ཉིད་ཀྱང་ནི་ཡོད་མ་ཡིན།།</span><br>
 
4. [[mtshan nyid]] [['jug pa]] [[ma yin na]]/<br>
[[mtshan gzhi]] [['thad pa]]r [[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.

[[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.

<span class=TibUni18>གང་གིས་དངོས་དང་དངོས་མེད་ཤེས།།</span><br>
 
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>

[[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.
