Mahamudra 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 nought.
Without making an effort, But remaining loose and natural,
One can break the yoke Thus gaining Liberation.
If one sees nought when staring into space,
If with the mind one then observes the mind,
One destroys distinctions And reaches Buddhahood.
