Description
This work, as noted by Shönu Gyalchok (Compendium of Well-Uttered Insights, p. 48), is generally attributed to Serlingpa, Atiśa's principal teacher on the awakening mind. Interestingly, the nineteenth-century Mongolian author Yeshé Döndrup (Treasury of Gems, p. 48) attributes this text to Maitrīyogi. On the basis of intratextual considerations . . . the case for the first attribution appears stronger. This said, without additional textual evidence, the question of authorship of this poem must remain open. (Thupten Jinpa, Mind Training: The Great Collection, 599–600n303)
