Praise to Tārā with Twenty-One Verses of Homage 3

Language
English

3

You eliminate all poisons.

Homage to you, sovereign of divine hosts,
Served by gods and kinnaras.
Your resplendence, an armor of joy,
Pacifies strife and clears away nightmares.

Homage to you, whose two eyes shine brightly
Like the sun and the moon when it’s full.
Tuttārā, with twice-uttered hara,
You pacify the most intractable ills.

Homage to you, who have the power to pacify,²⁴
You display the three true natures.²⁵
Turā, supreme lady, you destroy
The hordes of grahas, vetālas, and yakṣas.

This praise by means of the root mantra—
The twenty-one verses of homage
Should be recited in earnest by the wise,²⁶
Who are filled with devotion for the goddess.

Recalling it at dusk and also when rising at dawn
Will grant them freedom from every fear.
It will pacify all misdeeds,
And destroy all evil destinies.

Soon they will receive empowerment
From seventy million conquerors.
Beyond this, they shall attain greatness,
And proceed to the ultimate state of buddhahood.

If they recall this praise all dreadful poisons,
Whether natural or manufactured,
Whether eaten or imbibed,
Will be utterly neutralized.

This will dispel the heap of suffering
Inflicted by grahas, infectious diseases, and poisons,
Even in other beings.
If chanted twice, thrice, or seven times,

Those who want children will come to have them,
Those who seek wealth will come to have that,
Each and every wish will be fulfilled,
And obstacles, entirely vanquished, will be no more.
