(This is a quiver-design [tūṇabandha] formed by two zigzag-pattern [pādagomūtrikābandha] lines.)
O Tārā, radiant and pure, rising up as a refuge to protect those who rely on you, with your own raised arm that destroys sin, by your efforts at the time of incitement you protect the battle of the king of gods. The meaning of the sentence is: the gods, protected by seeking refuge in you, once more become engaged in battle. Together with the previous half-verse beginning with "suradeśasya te kīrtiṃ" in zigzag meter, this verse in repeated zigzag meter forms a quiver-design. [Diagrammatic layout] The fivefold arrangement is now explained here. // 90
