Those carried along the continuum of the four fierce and powerful rivers,
Bound by means of tight bonds of actions difficult to reverse,
Who have entered into the iron net of inherently existent self,
And are covered with dark ignorance’s great darkness . . .
[continued next stanza].
. . . Are born into limitless cyclic existence,
And in their births are tortured uninterruptedly by the three sufferings.
Contemplating the condition of our mothers in such a state, generate the supreme bodhicitta.
