On this path (traced by) the lineage of Siddhas, you will be Mitranātha. I do not wish to leave the divine plane of the Island of the Moon, (but I will do so as) I am your beloved of the path of the Western Tradition. I received this Rule (samaya) previously by your permission (anujñā) and I will guard it and go to mount Kaumāra”.
