"[From Lavapa], he recieved the instruction of the great radiant
light(Tib. 'od-gsal, Skt. prabhasvara). Then, in cemetery, where
he was looking for Nagarjuna (Klu-sgrub), Matangipa(Ma-tang-gi),
a yogin practitioner of ascetic penance(Tib. brtul-shugs, skt. vrata),
was meditating in ahut: "O boy!" he said. "Nagarjuna
went to explain the Dharma to the King of Gandharvas(dri-za), so
he sent me to take care of you." There he offered mandalas to
him and requested the instruction. [In response] he manifested the
actual mandala of Sriguhya-samaja (dPal-gsang-ba-'dus-pa'i dkyil-'khor
dngos-su sprul) and gave the empowerment (Tib. dbang-bskur, Skt.
abhiseka). Then, by means of the explaination of the tantra, he precieved
the reality of thinking activity (Tib. sems-kyi ngo-bo, Skt. cittasbhava) "
