Bodhicaryavatara 1.10

1.10

na hi kiṃcidapūrvamatra vācyaṃ na ca saṃgrathanakauśalaṃ mamāsti /
ata eva na me parārthacintā svamano vāsayituṃ kṛtaṃ mayedam //

There is indeed nothing new to be said here,
nor do I possess skill in composition.
Therefore, I have no thought of others’ welfare;
this was made by me to perfume my own mind. // 1.2
