Whoever (yaḥ | nom sg m) simultaneously (yugapat) brings to awareness (bhāvayet | 3p sg caus opt) the upper emptiness (pṛṣṭha-śūnyam | acc sg n) and the root emptiness (mūla-śūnyam | acc sg n), becomes (bhavet | 3p sg act opt), through the power independent of the body (śarīra-nirapekṣiṇyā śaktyā | ins sg), of empty mind (śūnya-manāḥ | nom sg m).
Hold at the same time the emptiness above and the emptiness at the root. Then a power no longer dependent on the body carries the mind into emptiness.

One should bring to awareness (bhāvayet | 3p sg caus opt) the upper emptiness (pṛṣṭha-śūnyam | acc sg n), the root emptiness (mūla-śūnyam | acc sg n), and the heart-emptiness (hṛc-chūnyam | acc sg n) firmly (sthiram | acc sg n).
Then (tataḥ), from freedom from conception (nirvikalpatvāt | abl sg), the arising of the conception-free state (nirvikalpa-udayaḥ | nom sg) [occurs] at the same time (yugapat).
Then (tataḥ), from freedom from conception (nirvikalpatvāt | abl sg), the arising of the conception-free state (nirvikalpa-udayaḥ | nom sg) [occurs] at the same time (yugapat).
Abide in the emptiness above, the emptiness at the root, and the emptiness of the heart. When this becomes steady, freedom from concepts gives rise, at the same time, to the thought-free state.

At one place of the body (tanū-deśe | loc sg), one should bring to awareness (vibhāvayet | 3p sg caus opt), even for just a moment (kṣaṇa-mātram | acc sg n), emptiness itself (śūnyatā eva).
Conception-free (nirvikalpam | acc sg n), the conception-free one (nirvikalpaḥ | nom sg m) becomes a participant in the own form of freedom from conception (nirvikalpa-svarūpa-bhāk | nom sg m).
Conception-free (nirvikalpam | acc sg n), the conception-free one (nirvikalpaḥ | nom sg m) becomes a participant in the own form of freedom from conception (nirvikalpa-svarūpa-bhāk | nom sg m).
For just a moment, perceive any place in the body as pure emptiness. When this perception happens without inner construction, the mind itself comes to share in thought-free reality.

Everything (sarvam | acc sg n) that is substance located in the body (deha-gataṃ dravyam | acc sg), O gazelle-eyed one (mṛgekṣaṇe | voc sg f), one should bring to awareness (vibhāvayet | 3p sg caus opt) as pervaded by space (viyad-vyāptam | acc sg n ppp).
Thereby (tataḥ), for this one (tasya | gen sg m), that meditation (sā bhāvanā | nom sg) becomes (bhavet | 3p sg act opt) firm (sthirā | nom sg f).
Thereby (tataḥ), for this one (tasya | gen sg m), that meditation (sā bhāvanā | nom sg) becomes (bhavet | 3p sg act opt) firm (sthirā | nom sg f).
Contemplate every tissue and substance of the body as pervaded by space. In this way, meditation on space and emptiness becomes stable.

Metre: Anuṣṭubh
Inside the body (deha-antare | loc sg), one should contemplate (vicintayet | 3p sg act opt) the skin-boundary (tvag-vibhāgam | acc sg) as having become wall-like (bhitti-bhūtam | acc sg n ppp).
Meditating (dhyāyan | nom sg m pca) that nothing (na kiṃcit | acc sg n) [is] inside it (tasya | gen sg m; antare | loc sg), [the practitioner] becomes (bhavet | 3p sg act opt) a participant in what is not to be meditated on (adhyeya-bhāk | nom sg m).

Imagine the body as a space whose skin is only a wall. Inside, there is nothing graspable. Whoever meditates in this way comes into contact with what is no longer an ordinary object of meditation.
