This dhāraṇī has been reproduced primarily as it appears in the Degé witness of the Tibetan translation, and the word divisions have been arranged in a way that seems most appropriate given the available readings. This dhāraṇī employs conventions typical of dhāraṇīs, which are difficult to understand with precision and to translate. Moreover, it is evident that the transmission of this dhāraṇī has suffered from various corruptions. Therefore, it is not possible to conjecture alternative readings or offer a complete translation. Generally, the dhāraṇī can be understood to invoke the goddess as one who is described as victorious in various ways. She is asked to recollect her vows (smara smara) and to manifest beautifully (vilasa vilasa) as a great, boon-granting goddess. Her connections with vajra-emptiness and compassion are evoked, and she is asked to spring forth (sphuṭa sphuṭa), enter or possess (āveśa āveśa), shake (kampa kampa), and to make others shake (kampaya). Her fragrance and white color are mentioned, she is asked to terrorize obstructive forces (santrāsaya vighanān), to “surround us” and provide protection (parivalāya asmākaṃ asmākaṃ), and spring into action (cara cara). She is then described as one who is rich in driving force (vegavatī). The dhāraṇī ends by paying homage to her (namo namo namaḥ svāhā). - [Previous: notes.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.stotra.tara.taradevinamastasataka*bo~en-84000.notes.5) - [Next: notes.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.stotra.tara.taradevinamastasataka*bo~en-84000.notes.7) - [Up: notes](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.stotra.tara.taradevinamastasataka*bo~en-84000.notes) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.stotra.tara.taradevinamastasataka*bo~en-84000.notes.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.stotra.tara.taradevinamastasataka*bo~en-84000.notes.6) · Pramāṇa
