"In the South, in the Bamboo Grove ('od ma'i tshal), the master Maitrīpa transmitted to me five tantras, including the (root-tantra) of Mahâmudrâ (entitled) The Completely Non-Dwelling (previously received from Kor Nirupa); some dohās; The Pure Wisdom of Mahāmudrā (?) and many oral instructions, including The Integration of the Three Kāyas on the Path (See topic. I also received many tantras and sādhanas, including those of Hevajra (previously received from Dha Chenpo) and The recitation of the names (mañjuśrīnāmasamgīti Toh 360), previously received from Kor Nirupa and Dorjé Denpa)."
