Da. This is the seventeenth chapter, which proves through reasoning. The tantra of great bliss, which uses the result as the path, Ultimately reveals the five kinds of tantra kings. All the methods of accomplishment are supreme and incomparable. Whoever speaks of that is an unequaled hero. The great mandala of all Buddhas, Accomplishing bliss with joyful conduct, May this supreme essence Cause all sentient beings to become great Vajradharas. This is called "Clarifying All the Generation Stages of the Mandala Accomplishment Methods of the Five Tantra Classes." It was compiled by Tāranātha, who was born into the Dharma lineage of the wise and accomplished master Khyungo Naljorpa, with the assistance of many earlier and later prompters, and with Drakpa Sangpo, who had close faith, acting as scribe and prompter. It was closely arranged, free from faults such as mixing expansion and contraction, and so forth, at the source of many precious qualities, in the solitary place of glorious Taklung Tang, called Namgyal Rabten. May this cause the precious teachings of the Buddhas in general, and in particular the practice lineage of the teachings of the great accomplished Shangpa, to spread and flourish in all directions and remain for a long time. Auspiciousness!
