Truyền thừa hướng thượng (ūrdhvāmnāya); tòa ngồi vô sở y (nirālamba-pīṭha); quán đảnh hiệp nhất (saṃyoga-dīkṣā); giáo huấn ly tham, lìa dính mắc (viyoga-upadeśa); và uống vị tri túc như chính sự thọ pháp; quán chiếu mười hai Āditya; gìn giữ trí phân biệt (viveka); lấy từ bi làm cuộc chơi duy nhất; tràng hoa hỷ lạc; trong hang động cô tịch, hội chúng an vui của tư thế giải thoát; người thọ thực bằng vật khất thực không toan tính; hạnh Haṃsa; và sự xác chứng rằng Haṃsa cư ngụ trong mọi loài hữu tình.

The upward transmission (ūrdhvāmnāya); the supportless seat (nirālamba-pīṭha); initiation into union (saṃyoga-dīkṣā); instruction in disunion/detachment (viyoga-upadeśa); and the drinking of contentment that is initiation; the contemplation of the twelve Ādityas; the guarding of discrimination; compassion alone as play; a garland of bliss; in the solitary cave, an assembly of the happiness of the liberated posture/seat; one who eats alms that are unpremeditated; the conduct of the Haṃsa; the teaching that the Haṃsa dwells within all beings.
