དང་པོར་ང་ཞེས་བདག་ལ་ཞེན་གྱུར་ཞིང༌། །

བདག་གི་འདི་ཞེས་དངོས་ལ་ཆགས་བསྐྱེད་པ། །
ཟོ་ཆུན་འཕྱན་ལྟར་རང་དབང་མེད་པ་ཡི། །

འགྲོ་ལ་སྙིང་རྗེར་གྱུར་གང་དེ་ལ་འདུད། །

Firstly with the thought of “I”, they cling to self,
And then with “mine”, they grow attached to things,
Helplessly, they wander like a turning waterwheel—
To compassion for these beings, I bow down!

Candrakīrti, Introduction to the Middle Way, I, 3
