month with auspicious scarf and crystal mala adorned with precious ornaments by
Jnana Dakini Varahis emanation Jetsunma Dekyong Yeshey Wangmo, Mipham
Jampel Gyepa or Yodsel Dorje wrote this entirely on that day. By the merit of this
extraordinary language of the Dzogpachenpo view with the ability of standing on
ones own feet and writing whatever arose in mind, may all sentient beings attain the
state of the primordial lord protector, Manjushri Kumara.

It has been said that by merely hearing this will certainly be liberated.
It is been well praised by Vajradhara as the greatest of all paths.
If someone wishes to contemplate this meaning, what more should one look for.
The truth of the dharmata will liberate swiftly.
When it is difficult to tame with the vehicle of exertion
It has been said that the teachings of the heart of the Kuntuzangpo, Ever Excellent
will arise.
By showing essence like the praised teachings
May it spread and flourish in all corners of the universe.
