The Southern path (comes) from Kula and from the Southern one (comes) the Northern House. From (that emerges the transmission of) the left, the lineage of oneness (ekatvasantāna), which is all, both with sequence and without. Each one has a differing lion-nature and so exists separately in a state in which (each) is exclusive of the other in the House of the Four Lineages. [...]”.
