Homage to you, Lotus King, the Transcendent,

འཇིག་རྟེན་མ་འགྱུར་པདྨའི་རྒྱལ་པོ་ལས། །

jikten ma gyur pemé gyalpo lé

Who by the great marvel of reaching supreme accomplishment,

དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པའི་མན་ངག་གསང་ཆེན་རྣམས། །

Unravelled from the expanse

ཀློང་ནས་བཀྲོལ་མཛད་དེ་ལ་ཕྱག་འཚལ་ལོ། །

long né trol dzé dé la chaktsal lo

The Tathāgata’s most secret instructions!

 

སློབས་དཔོན་ཤན་ཏིང་གར་བས་བརྟགས་ནས་མ་ནོར་ནས། སམ་བ་བྷ་ལ་སྟོད་པ་འོ།།

The master Śāntigarbha, having examined and found it flawless, is praising Sambhava.

  1. This four-line praise forms the colophon of the Noose of Methods (IOL Tib J 321, Thabs zhags, or *Upāyapāśa), a Mahāyoga commentary attributed to Padmasambhava. For a detailed discussion of this praise and a study of the commentary, see: Cathy Cantwell and Robert Mayer, A Noble Noose of Methods, The Lotus Garland Synopsis: A Mahāyoga Tantra and Its Commentary, (Wien: Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, 2012). The following Tibetan edition and its English translation is based on a comparison of several Tibetan editions.
