HŪṂ —awakens the self-arisen wisdom, the ultimate nature.

1

The Mind1 (o-rgyan-yul) is the freedom (mtshams) [from the extremes] of samsāra (nub) and nirvāṇa (byang).

2

It is the realization of the union (sdong-po) of the primordially pure ultimate sphere (padma) and luminous, vajra intrinsic awareness (ge-sar) and (la).

3

It is the Great Perfection, the marvelous (ya-mtshan). It is the attainment (brnyes) of the supreme siddhi (mchog-gi-dngos-grub), the state of vajradhāra.

4

This is the wisdom of the absolute nature, renowned as (zhes-su-grags) the ultimate basis (’byung-gnas) of the Buddhas (padma).

5

This wisdom is with (bskor) its numerous manifestative powers (mang-pos) emanating (’gro) in the ultimate sphere (mkha’) as attributes (’khor-du).

6

I firmly develop confidence (bdag bsgrub-kyis) in the nature of the nondual primordial wisdom (khyed-kyi-rjes-su).

7

In order to (phyir) purify all the attachments to appearances as the primordial wisdom (byin-gyis-rlobs), may I realize (gshegs su gsol) the ultimate nature.

The primordial wisdom is emptiness in its essence (dharmakāya) (GURU), clarity in nature (sambhogakāya) (PADMA), and all pervasive in compassion [power] (nirmāṇakāya) (SIDDHI) with fivefold wisdom (HŪṂ ).
