The Song: Verse 1Mahamudra is beyond all words and symbols,
But for you, Naropa, earnest and loyal, must this be said:
The void needs no reliance; Mahamudra rests on naught.
Without making an effort, but remaining loose and natural,
One can break the yoke thus gaining liberation.
The Song: Verse 2
If one sees naught when staring into space;
If with the mind one then observes the mind,
One destroys distinctions and reaches Buddhahood.
The clouds that wander through the sky have no roots, no home;
Nor do the distinctive thoughts floating through the mind.
Once the Self-mind is seen, Discrimination stops.
In space, shapes and colors form,
But neither by black nor white is space tinged.
From the Self-mind all things emerge;
The Mind by virtues and by vices is not stained.
