In
the Bardo state the wanderer
Is
the Alaya. It stays nowhere,
Driven
by one's own sorrow,
It
enters a womb unknown.
Therein
it feels like a fish
Caught
into crevice of rock,
Sleeping
in blood red and pus yellow,
In
all discharges it must pillow.
Crammed
in filth, it suffers pain,
From
bad karma one is to gain,
Though
remembering past lives,
It
cannot count four or five.
Now
scorched by heat,
Now
cold it does meet.
For
nine months it remains,
In
the womb with all pains,
From
womb by pliers as if pulled out,
Head
is squeez'd but safety is nought,
Like
being thrown into a bramble,
When
it bears all of a-tremble,
Its
body on mother's lap with sorrow,
It
feels gripped by a hawk like a sparrow.
When
his body blood and dirt is cleansed,
Like
flayed alive its pains increas'd,
When
umbilical cord is being cut,
It
feels as if the spine does jut,
When
wrapped in the cradle,
It
feels bound by a girdle.
He
who realizes not the truth of non-born
