"Gods
and asuras with their crowns
bow down to Your lotus feet;
Liberator from all problems,
[Mother] Tara-homage to You!
"On
those Avici’s fire torments,
filling them with a blazing net,
Your compassion rains down nectar-
Tara, further homage to You!
"To those tired of circling long,
again and again, among the six
Destinies, You grant the rest,
supremely pleasant, of Great Bliss.
"Goddess
who works the weal of others!
Just to think of You dispels problems!
You, endowed with love and compassion,
liberate from samsara’s bonds..
"Goddess who at all times is
whole crop of migrators
You rain incessantly - homage to You!
"Like the
sun and the moon, dispeller
of distress of darkness for
All migrating sentient beings,
Supreme Goddess - homage to You!
"On a lotus
and moon seat
immaculate as an utpala
Your body blue-green coloured, graceful,
You hold an utpala - homage to You!
"Three countless
eons You’ve gathered Merits and Wisdom,
Cast off all the hindering obscurations,
And with the four Means of Attraction attracted migrators,
O compassionate Mother - homage to You!
"Bodily
faults are gone, You have the Marks and Signs;
Faults of speech are gone, like the kalavinka's strains;
Faults of the mind gone, You know all knowable things.
Blaze of fortune and glory-homage to You!
"Like the
water clearing gem, Goddess,
You forever clear
The mud of sentient beings’ minds and strive for their
Welfare - homage to You!
"Those who
do retain Your name,
praise You, and do practice You,
Always do You make fruitful.
"Unforgetful
One - homage to You!
The Praise of the Venerable Tara by Dipamkara-sri-jnana is complete.”
Wilson, M. In Praise of Tara. London: Wisdom Publ, 1986: 293-294.
