1. ↑ In other words, the six afflictions.
2. ↑ In this verse, there is a play on the Tibetan word for amṛta, dütsi (bdud rtsi), which combines the words for demon (bdud) and elixir (rtsi).
3. ↑ These are the eight accomplished adepts of Tibet. They can be listed as Nyak Jñānakumāra, Namkhe Nyingpo, Nupchen Sangye Yeshe, Gyalwa Chokyang, Yeshe Tsogyal, Palgyi Yeshé, Langchen Palgyi Sengé, and Vairotsana.
4. ↑ This refers to Terchen Chokgyur Lingpa and Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. Both masters are praised here as an upholders of all seven types of transmission. These seven are the transmissions of the Nyingma Oral Transmission (bka’ ma), the earth treasures (sa gter), the rediscovered treasures (yang gter), the mind treasures (dgongs gter), the recollected treasures (rjes dran), the profound pure visions (dag snang), and the most profound whispered lineage (snyan brgyud).
5. ↑ Literally ‘that which contains the essence of amṛta’.
6. ↑ Tulku Dawa Rinpoche explains that this means that you should receive it reverently with the special mudrā or hand gesture.
