• Wylie:Shes rab kyi pha rol tu phyin pa'i man ngag gcod kyi gzhung shes rab skra rtse'i sa gzhung spel ba rin po che'i gter mdzod  + (Although this text is attributed to [[Machik Lapdrön]] … Although this text is attributed to [[Machik Lapdrön]] and placed among the original texts of Severance in ''[[The Treasury of Precious Instructions]]'', in fact it is a commentary on a source text, with the lines of what may have been an autonomous root text entitled ''A Hair’s Tip of Wisdom'' found within the commentary. This root text may well have been composed by [[Machik]], as it is similar in content and style to the other sources and retains the beauty and profundity of direct teaching. The commentary itself has no colophon. [[Kongtrul]] indicates in his records that it could be by [[Kunga Paljor]] (also called [[Drung Sarupa]]), who is the author of ''Pure Honey'', the commentary to the main source text by [[Āryadeva the Brahmin]]. It is somewhat similar in style to that work. On the other hand, in ''The Religious History of Pacification and Severance'' it seems to be attributed to [[Karmapa Rangjung Dorje]].'"`UNIQ--ref-00000482-QINU`"' Again it is unclear, as there is no direct statement of authorship but rather an association with another text. [[Rangjung Dorje]] seems an unlikely candidate, since the text is not found among his comprehensive collected works, and stylistically it is quite different.</br></br>Sometimes the commentary seems to directly contradict the intention in the root text upon which it is commenting. For example, [[Machik]] (if she is the author) says that “the meaning . . . is introduced in oneself,” while the comment on that statement advises one to request introduction or pointing-out instruction from the guru. The structural outline superimposed on what would be an inspired spontaneous teaching seems a better fit for a formal treatise. Nevertheless, the comments of this deft scholar clarify and enhance the meaning of the original, and together they make a wonderful exposition on the real meaning of Severance.position on the real meaning of Severance.)
