Bardo

BARDO. May not the Element of space Rise against me In acrid acrimony. From the north Arrives green goddess Ghanta of serpent head Garlanded with skulls And in her hand Holding metallic bells Sounds of the surges Deafening eared knell. Let me remember Infinite compassions The past deeds For all the things Great and small And for all the creeds. For the white dove For the yellow bear For fields of worms For earth borne cares. Let not the Element of sun Arise against me In wandering thirst On burning symptoms. Yogins arise westward Bringing seeds of wisdom With wavering garlands Amid four coloured lights And the scented perfumes Moulded from purified elements. In all prevailing circles Let not the element Of the seeded earth Arise against me. In some splintered segment. ( Interval between death & new life)
