That there is no intrinsic existence at all
And that all functions as 'this arising
In dependence on that,' what need is there to say
That these two converge without conflict?
'It is through the reason of dependent origination
That one does not lean towards the extreme;'
That You, the Saviour, have declared this excellently,
Is the source of your unexcelled speech.
'All of this is devoid of essence,'
And 'From this arises that effect'—
These two certainties complement
Each other with no contradiction at all.
What is more amazing than this?
What is more marvellous than this?
If one praises You in this manner,
This is real praise, otherwise not.
