Mūlamadhyamakakārikā by Nagarjuna (first chapter in romanized Sanskrit with diacritics)

Text according to Prasannapadā as emended by J. W. De Jong (1978) and further emended by Akira Saito (1985)

अनिरोधमनुत्पादमनुच्छेदमशाश्वतम्।

anirodham anutpādam anucchedam aśāśvataṃ |

अनेकार्थमनानार्थमनागममनिर्गमम्॥१॥

anekārtham anānārtham anāgamam anirgamaṃ ||

non-extinction (anirodham), non-origination (anutpadam), non-destruction (anucchedam), non-permanence (asasvatam), non-identity (anekartham), non-differentiation (ananartham), non-coming into being (anagamam) and non-going out of being (anirgamam)

This is effectively a class action negating the Eight Limits that collapse the expanse of Shunyata. The eight consist of two groups of four, which are in turn paired within their set and without. The first four may be viewed as focused on qualifying phenomena and the second four upon qualifying identity. The four corners and their mirror are amplifications of a primordiality (atemporal, nonlocal): a superposition that is evident in all amplifications of temporality and locality. As I conveyed in Catuskoti, if we plot the Eight as equidistant from the epicentre of 'Zeroness' (Shunyata) and each is demarcated from the other by a common unit, they form the diameters to the Quarters (and their mirror negation) which qualify a sphere (mandala).
