Lyrics
On the seventh day, a pure many-colored light will shine in your unconscious mind And the Vidyadharas from the pure realm of space will come to invite you in the center of a mandala, filled with rainbow light He who is called the unsurpassable, fully developed Vidyadhara, Lord Lotus of the Dance, will appear. His body bright with the five colors, embracing his consort, the red Dakini, dancing with a crescent knife and the skull full of blood, gesturing and gazing at the sky From the east of the mandala he who is called Vidyadhara established in stages will appear, white in color with a radiant smiling face, embracing his consort, the white Dakini, dancing with a crescent knife and a skull full of blood, gesturing and gazing at the sky From the south of the mandala, he who is called the Lord of Life, Vidyadhara will appear, yellow in color, with beautiful form, embracing his consort the yellow Dakini, dancing with a crescent knife, and a skull full of blood, gesturing and gazing at a sky From the west of the mandala, he who is called the great symbol Vidyadhara would appear, red in color with a radiant smiling face, embracing his consort, the red Dakini, dancing with a crescent knife and a skull full of blood, gesturing and gazing at the sky From the north of the mandala, he who is called the spontaneously wisdom Vidyadhara will appear green in color. His expression both angry and smiling, embracing his consort, the green Dakini with a crescent knife and a skull full of blood gesturing and gazing at the sky Do not be afraid of it. Do not escape. Do not fear Recognize it as the play of your mind. Your own projection. Do not be afraid of the five-colored light. Do not fear it, but recognize it as wisdom
