One should meditate upon the goddess Tārā, who carries the world across [the ocean of transmigratory existence], / resembling the radiance of ten million suns, her crest bearing the crescent moon, / her limbs red, clad in deep red garments with a girdle, her face like the full moon's orb, / holding a noose, a curved knife, a great goad, and other weapons with her four arms, adorned with various ornaments.
