Colophon: This was written by the guru of the transmigratory beings of the three realms, the glorious, pure, perfect, Pabongka, inseparable from the supreme founder, the possessor of might, Vajradhara.
Even a small part of this blessed Tormented Calling cannot be compared to wish-granting jewels equaling the number of sand grains of the River Ganga. This extraordinary exalted heart jewel was copied from handwritten notes of the holy speech of the glorious, pure Thakpu Dorje Chang Pema Vajra.
