Upon The Highest Method Characteristic's Division

Kārikā Prathamaḥ

Not true, not also untrue, tis not that manner, not also another manner, ¦

nor manifested, disperses, not also being diminished, |

nor expands, not therefore, doth become more pure, again. ¦

Becomes more pure, 'Tat', the highest way characteristic! || 6.1 ||

Upon The Self Beholding A Misapprehension's Contradiction

Kārikā Dvitīyaḥ

Not also, is self beholding, itself, a self's characteristic. ¦

Not also, besides, is suffering complete permanence, without characteristic. |

For these dualities, is it not, also again, bewilderment; this, indeed, is rising up. ¦

Thence, also, liberation, tis a delusion matrix's complete ruination. || 6.2 ||

Upon An Error's Critiques

Kārikā Tṛtīyaḥ

Pray tell, a living being, the discordant chaotic state, is observing. ¦

The highest, like that, is a suffering fundamental nature; tis not for peacefulness. |

The non·knower, the knower, just so, are suffering. ¦

Not suffering, is the dharma consisting of; tis not made up of that. || 6.3 ||

Kārikā Caturthaḥ

Having gone chaotically, in an existence of power; pray tell how, a born one, ¦

the present turns of life depends; other than, to be effected. |

Delusion, the way forth, which!, this!, is of this sort!; ¦

which, the unobservant, true and untrue, unobserves. || 6.4 ||

Upon An Untrue Self, In An Equanimity Lifetime Enjoined

Kārikā Pañcamaḥ

Not also within, which is also not known, in these two; ¦

tis the true way of the turn of events, of a tranquility born person, in this world. |

That manner, thereto, from a living existence so withering, tis all encompassed. ¦

Of equanimity, the attaining, tis of beautiful karmic actions enacting. || 6.5 ||

Upon That Opposing View's Highest Weak Method Knowledge Stage Entrance

Kārikā Ṣaṣtaḥ

Having complete forbearance, for the full preparation, unto an endless other shore, ¦

of knowledge, of virtue also, is the Bodhisattva, |

in dharmas, in thoughts, from non·attachment, ¦

for conversation in logical agreement, for the way through rebirth, on highest, just so. || 6.6 ||

Kārikā Saptamaḥ

For these methods, one having fully known, and for these discourse matrices, ¦

one stands firm, unto it, within the thought construct. |

To direct perception, goes also, the dharma's fundament; ¦

from that, tis unbound, by non·dual nature. || 6.7 ||

Kārikā Aṣtamaḥ

Nor is it like that, from cognition, later, having been approached, by discerning intellect. ¦

Of cogitation, not doth existence go near to, from that. |

Of duality, – not the existence having approached –, a wise one ¦

doth stand firm here, in the way of the dharma's foundation. || 6.8 ||

Kārikā Navamaḥ

The mental stillness, with wisdom's might, of the one of knowledge, ¦

by ambivalence practicing, from being every where, always; |

unto that, is the fundamental nature, a deep thicket of fault accumulation. ¦

By great illness, indeed, poison tis cast out. || 6.9 ||

Upon the Highest Method of Knowledge, Upon the Great Essence

Kārikā Daśamaḥ

The awakened sage bestowed, a good dharma well established, ¦

for a focused intellect, having so set upon, with a basis in the dharma's fundament. |

For a reflective mind, having descended, to the vibration's matrix, ¦

proceeds the attribute ocean's highest attainable insightful comprehension. || 6.10 ||
