At all times one should recollect the mantra—
The mantra that is the fully realized buddha,
Supreme among two-legged beings, the Lion of the Śākyas and best of men.

“He taught the mantras
Of the uṣṇīṣas and so forth, including the Locanā;²⁴⁷⁷
The mantras of the teachers of the three worlds—
Cakravartin,²⁴⁷⁸ Tejorāśi, and Jayoṣṇīṣa²⁴⁷⁹—

“And also of Vijayoṣṇīṣa and the rest;
Of Padmapāṇi, Lokita,²⁴⁸⁰
Avalokiteśvara, Bhṛkuṭī,
Tārā, and Yaśasvinī;

“And also [the mantras of] the goddesses
Sitavāsinī,²⁴⁸¹ Mahāśvetā, and Yaśovatī;
The vidyā Bhogavatī;
And Hayagrīva, the king of mantras.

“These are the main mantras
In the Lotus family that emerged from the victorious ones.
The cakravartin One Syllable²⁴⁸²
Is the mighty lord of [all these] mantras.

“If one remembers the god of gods,
The splendorous lord of mantras
By the name of Yamāntaka,²⁴⁸³
One will have no anger.²⁴⁸⁴

“[The mantra of] Avalokiteśvara
Gives rise to compassionate thoughts
And overwhelms the mind with great compassion.
[The mantra of] Tārā, revealed by the former buddhas²⁴⁸⁵

“And spoken by Avalokiteśvara,
Delivers sentient beings [from suffering].
This noble vidyā is generated during samādhi
And designated as woman in name and form.²⁴⁸⁶

“Consequently, the bodhisattva conducts himself
As [Tārā], the supreme ‘companion²⁴⁸⁷ in awakening,’²⁴⁸⁸
In thousands of world spheres,
Too many to be counted.

“Synchronically, the goddess [herself] sojourns widely,
Bringing welfare to embodied beings
In her form of a woman
With the nature of the mantra.

“At that time, she establishes beings who need guidance
On the path to awakening,
Manifesting the inconceivable
Conduct of the bodhisattvas.

“One should also keep in mind Vajrapāṇi,
The valiant lord of mantras,
And Māmakī who upholds her family—
The goddess worshiped by the three worlds—

“And also [the dūtīs] Śṛṅkhalā,
Mekhalā, Vajramuṣṭī, and Yaśasvinī;
[The krodhas] Krodhendra,²⁴⁸⁹ Tilaka, and Śatru;²⁴⁹⁰
[And the vidyārājas] Nīladaṇḍa and Bhairava.²⁴⁹¹

“These are the hosts of dūtīs,
