Nāropa (c. 956–1040), the famous student of Tilopa and renowned guru of the Tibetan Marpa, was born in Kashmir.[1] The Tibetan accounts present the sequence of the major events in his life in different orders. One of the earliest biographies, by Gampopa, states that Nāropa met and trained with Tilopa, and later in life took up the position of the northern gatekeeper at Nalanda monastery.[2] Later biographies, which are the more well-known ones, say that he began his Buddhist studies in Kashmir and became a monk after separating from his wife Vimalā. Then he went to study at Nalanda monastery, where he had an illustrious scholastic career that culminated in being installed as the northern gatekeeper. Nāropa remained there as an eminent scholar until he was urged by a ḍākinī to seek instruction on the ultimate meaning from the mahāsiddha Tilopa. Following a period of training with Tilopa, which included a series of twelve major and twelve minor hardships, he attained full realization. He then went to Pullahari (also known as Puṣpahari) in Magadha (central India), which is where Marpa Lotsāwa met him and where this song was sung.[3]
Summary Verses on Mahāmudrā is not included in the Tengyur. A text of the same name and almost identical content, attributed to Maitrīpa, is found in volume 8 of The Treasury of Precious Instructions. [4] The text in this volume contains headings included in the form of interlinear notes inserted by the second Shamarpa, Khachö Wangpo (1350–1405), which have been incorporated into the translation as headings. The translation is primarily based on Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo’s Short, Lucid Commentary with a secondary reliance on the Interlinear Commentary on “Summary Verses on Mahāmudrā” from the Aural Scrolls of the Translator Marpa Lotsāwa (Interlinear Marpa 2009) and the interlinear notes within Summary Verses on Mahāmudrā in the Paltsek edition of his Collected Works (SVM Marpa 2011).[5]
Transmission lineage received by Jamgön Kongtrul. Nāropa to Marpa, and then the same as previously stated for the Ganges Mahāmudrā. [6]
