An interesting feature of the styles in this text is that sometimes the commentary seems to directly contradict the intention in the root text upon which it is commenting. For example, Machik (if it is she) 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 outline superimposed on what would be an inspired spontaneous teaching seems to be an ill-fitting attempt that would work better for a formal treatise. And whoever our commentator is seems to run out of steam, or time, toward the end. | An interesting feature of the styles in this text is that sometimes the commentary seems to directly contradict the intention in the root text upon which it is commenting.
