Translated from the Tibetan by the Vajravairochana Translation Committee
under the direction of Dorje Dtadul of Mukpo.
This second edition of Tbt Go/Jm Sun of tht Crtar East has been re-edited using,
where possible, gender-inclusive language. In particular, the words "human
ity;' "human" and "human being" generally translate the same gender-neutral
Tibetan word. Previously rendered as "man," it is the identical word found
in the phrase commonly translated as "heaven, earth and man:' In addition,
other amendments have been made based on a re-examination of the orig
inal Tibetan manuscript. It is the belief of his translators and editors that
Dorje Dradul of Mukpo would have approved these changes.

In Kalapa, the capital,~
The dharma king of Shambhala ~
First executed the primordial Ashe.!
On his right sat ministers on tiger-skin seats; ~
On his left, queens on leopard-skin seats;~
Before him, dapons on bear-skin seats; ~
Surrounding his domain, the Rigden dralas. ~
At the moment when the sun rose from the East, ~
The king held the fearless brush, ~
Soaked in the ink of mercy. ~
He touched it to the tip of his tongue,~
Invoking the dralas of the past, present and future.~
First he placed the A dot.~
Secondly, for the dralas of the father lineage,~
He drew out a stroke to the right of the dot.~
For the dralas of the imperial lineage, ~
He drew that brush stroke upwards. ~
Then for the mother lineage, ~
He relaxed his hold on the brush.~
Then in order to subjugate the enemy, ~
His brush stabbed like a dagger. ~
Then in order to kill the enemy, ~
His brush slashed like a dagger. ~
In order to conquer the enemy's troops,~
His brush pressed violently.~
For the benefit of all future warriors, ~
Increasing his confidence and magic, ~
With penetrating power~
He cut a stroke to the right abruptly. ~
