1. If it is said that impulses are "samsara", if they were permanent, they would not move around. Even if impermanent, they would not move around. Sentient beings too are similar in this respect.

/srid med nye bar len med na/
/de gang ci zhig 'khor bar 'gyur//
3. If one moves around in having clung [to something] and then clinging [to something else], there would be no becoming. If there were no clinging and no becoming, who would move around?

6. If clinging binds, the one who has clinging would not be bound. And there would be no bondage without clinging. In what situation would there be bondage?

/bcing dang grol ba dus gcig 'gyur//
8. Those who are bound will not be free. And those who are not bound will not be free. If those who are bound become free, bondage and freedom would be simultaneous.

/myang 'das bdag gir 'gyur ro zhes/
/de ltar gang dag 'dzin de yis/
