This short paper aims in presenting a modern but close reading of Dārikapāda’s Short Instruction on Reality – the Great Secret of Secrets from the exalted Oḍḍiyāna. This first translation of this short and inspirational Buddhist tantric song-poem into English is accompanied by an introduction in which the work is briefly contextualised, followed by two summarising sections about the author, text and its contents. The Short Instruction on Reality has not received any noteworthy scholarly attention from within or outside of Buddhist or scholarly traditions. Yet, as being part of the so-called ‘Seven Siddhi Texts’ (Grub pa sde bdun), it has gained its place within the Indo-Tibetan Mahāmudrā traditions that developed on the Tibetan plateau from 10th and 11th centuries onward, and is thus one among the many relevant sources, although a minor one, to be studied and investigated to shed light on its development and formation.
这篇短文的目的是对Dārikapāda的《关于现实的简短指导——来自崇高的Oḍḍiyāna的秘密中的大秘密》进行现代而细致的阅读。这首简短而鼓舞人心的佛教密宗诗歌的英文翻译伴随着一个介绍，其中简要介绍了该作品的背景，然后是关于作者，文本和内容的两个总结部分。《实相短训》在佛教或学术传统内外都没有得到任何值得注意的学术关注。然而，作为所谓的“七悉迪文本”(Grub pa sde bdun)的一部分，它在10世纪和11世纪以来在青藏高原上发展起来的印度-西藏Mahāmudrā传统中获得了一席之地，因此是许多相关来源之一，尽管是次要的，需要研究和调查以阐明其发展和形成。

Within the darśanic world, the Brahmasūtra is a seminal text that provides key insights into Upaniṣadic revelation. The recent creation of Mahāmahopādhyāya Bhadresh Swami’s Brahmasūtra-Svāminārāyaṇabhāṣya, a comprehensive Sanskrit commentary on the Brahmasūtra, presents unique readings of the text according to the teachings of the Akṣara-Puruṣottama Darśana as revealed by Bhagavān Svāminārāyaṇa. The commentary’s recent reception encourages further inquiry into its distinctive insights on Vedānta thought and the principles of the Akṣara-Puruṣottama Darśana. This article presents an English translation of the Brahmasūtra-Svāminārāyaṇabhāṣya’s exposition on the first aphorism: “athāto brahmajijñāsā,” in an effort to make the commentary’s expositions more accessible. In doing so, it highlights distinctive principles of the darśana, including its unique understanding of the nature and form of Akṣarabrahman and Parabrahman. To further contextualize the commentary, this article also presents an introduction to the darśanic commentarial tradition, focusing on the role, features, and significance of the Brahmasūtra commentaries and the Svāminārāyaṇabhāṣya.
