From the throat center of Dakini Pandaravasini a hrih blazing with light shot directly into the palace of the eastern realm of Potala. In that realm, in the center of the great milky lake of the eight pure qualities, there are sixteen continents, each with sixteen surrounding subcontinents.

The two continents to the east are Dhatrakosha and Mitrarashmi, where the two aryas, Drowa Dulwa and the excellent Khasarpani, teach the Dharma of infinite love to innumerable disciples.

The two continents to the south are Katrokopa and Rinchenvyuha. There, Amoghapasha and Ratnajaya teach the Dharma of compassion to an assembly of countless disciples.

The two continents to the west are Parardha and Palapatre Gyen. There, Arya Padma and Arya Ushnishavijaya teach the joyous Dharma to countless disciples.

The two continents to the north are Vajrapankti and Gyepepel. There Arya Avalokiteshvara and Padma Nateshvara teach the Dharma of equanimity to hosts of countless disciples.

The two continents to the southeast are Maitrikanta and Ratnalamkara. There, Nilakanta and Özer Barwewang grant countless disciples the teachings on the action and conduct tantras.

The two continents to the southwest are Mularasa and Aryakotra. There, the aryas Namkhe Gyalpo and Dongtrug Lha teach the doctrine of the highest vehicle to innumerable disciples.

The two continents to the northwest are Dewe Tsalchen and Padmarashi. There, Ratnarchi and the arya Vikridita teach the doctrine of the three vehicles to countless scores of disciples.

The two continents to the northeast are Padma Vikridita and Vajrakula. There, the aryas King Paltseg and Kuntuchang Wangpo teach the doctrine of the Ati vehicle to countless disciples.

In the central pure palace of Potala, home of the mandala known as Powerful Lotus, resides Avalokiteshvara in the form of Gyalwa Gyatso, with one thousand arms and eyes. There he teaches the Dharma of unobstructed ultimate truth to a vast assembly of tenth-level bodhisattvas. Everything in this realm is splendid and luminously aglow. There are beautiful green meadows, pure pools of water, lotus gardens, and rivers of nectar. There are wish granting trees whose branches and leaves are made of fine silken brocade.

The branches are laden with fruits made of heaps of precious jewels that fall like rain. Divine birds melodiously chirp and sing the song of secret mantra. Gods and goddesses swirl in dance to the sound of the melodies. Clouds of offerings produce whatever is desired.

The palaces are all studded with jewels of five varieties, and all the retinues are the color of crystals, blazing with light. There is no distinction between day or night; there is only the self-originating light of primordial wisdom. Food, clothing, and luxuries spontaneously appear as desired. There is no delusion, so suffering and illness are nonexistent. The very name of misery is unheard of in this realm of great bliss. In this perfectly arranged realm of the aryas, noble qualities are beyond imagination.

My dear companion Yaksha Anandapala, please listen. I am the consort Pandaravasini from the realm of Sukhavati. In the realm of Potala, I am the dakini born from the syllable hrih. Here in Damaru, I am well known as Lotus-born.

Ultimately I am a primordial wisdom dakini. I manifest myself unceasingly in the three times and possess fifty-five powers of clairvoyance. I shall answer your questions in detail; please keep them in mind. (Lotus-born)
