skandhā na nānyaḥ skandhebhyo nāsmin skandhā na teṣu saḥ /
tathāgataḥ skandhavān na katamo 'tra tathāgataḥ

buddhaḥ skandhān upādāya yadi nāsti svabhāvataḥ /
svabhāvataś ca yo nāsti kutaḥ sa parabhāvataḥ

pratītya parabhāvaṃ yaḥ so 'nātmety upapadyate /
yaś cānātmā sa ca kathaṃ bhaviṣyati tathāgataḥ

yadi nāsti svabhāvaś ca parabhāvaḥ kathaṃ bhavet /
svabhāvaparabhāvābhyām ṛte kaḥ sa tathāgataḥ

skandhān yady anupādāya bhavet kaścit tathāgataḥ /
sa idānīm upādadyād upādāya tato bhavet

skandhāṃś cāpy anupādāya nāsti kaścit tathāgataḥ /
yaś ca nāsty anupādāya sa upādāsyate katham

na bhavaty anupādattam upādānaṃ ca kiṃ cana /
na cāsti nirupādānaḥ kathaṃ cana tathāgataḥ

tattvānyatvena yo nāsti mṛgyamāṇaś ca pañcadhā /
upādānena sa kathaṃ prajñapyate tathāgataḥ

yad apīdam upādānaṃ tat svabhāvān na vidyate /
svabhāvataś ca yan nāsti kutas tat parabhāvataḥ

evaṃ śūnyam upādānam upādātā ca sarvaśaḥ /
prajñapyate ca śūnyena kathaṃ śūnyas tathāgataḥ

śūnyam iti na vaktavyam aśūnyam iti vā bhavet /
ubhayaṃ nobhayaṃ ceti prajñaptyarthaṃ tu kathyate

śāśvatāśāśvatādy atra kutaḥ śānte catuṣṭayam /
antānantādi cāpy atra kutaḥ śānte catuṣṭayam

ghanagrāho gṛhītas tu yenāstīti tathāgataḥ /
nāstīti sa vikalpayan nirvṛtasyāpi kalpayet

svabhāvataś ca śūnye 'smiṃś cintā naivopapadyate /
paraṃ nirodhād bhavati buddho na bhavatīti vā

prapañcayanti ye buddhaṃ prapañcātītam avyayam /
te prapañcahatāḥ sarve na paśyanti tathāgatam

tathāgato yatsvabhāvas tatsvabhāvam idaṃ jagat /
tathāgato niḥsvabhāvo niḥsvabhāvam idaṃ jagat
