,THUB PA’I DBANG PO MYA NGAN ‘DAS GYUR NAS,
,DE YI BSTAN PA SNYIGS MAR GYUR PA NA,
,RTEN ‘BYUNG DE NYID STON PA’I SKYES GCIG PU,
,ZLA BA’I ZHABS LA’ANG ZOL MED SPYI BOS ‘DUD,

When the Lord of the Able Ones
Passed beyond this world,
His teachings descended to the dregs;
And there was only one
Who still taught dependence, suchness.
In devotion unfeigned
I bow my head
To the feet of Chandrakirti.
