Vajra Song Summarizing the Six Dharmas: The Scholar-Mahāsiddha Nāropa’s Instructions to the Lord of Yogins Marpa
During Marpa’s third trip to India, Nāropa sang this song to him during a ganacakra celebrating Marpa’s recovery from an illness. Although Marpa had recovered physically, he was, as Nāropa remarks in the song, still feeling sad. In this song, Nāropa summarizes the instructions on the six dharmas—caṇḍālī, illusory forms, dreams, luminosity, transference, and entering a body—and adds two final sets of instruction: on the bardos and the path.
This song is found in the biographies of Marpa Lotsāwa by Tsangnyön Heruka, Khachö Wangpo, and Pawo Tsuklak Trengwa.[1] It also serves as a basis for commentaries on the six dharmas by the first Paṇchen Lama, Lopsang Chökyi Gyaltsen, and one of his students, the first Rongpo Drupchen, Shar Kalden Gyatso, both seventeenth-century Geluk teachers.[2]
Transmission lineage received by Jamgön Kongtrul. Vajradhara to Jñānaḍākinī, Vajrapāṇi, Tilopa, and then the same as previously stated for the Ganges Mahāmudrā.[3]
