Om, to Jetsun Arya Tara I bow down.
Homage to Tara, the Tare swift heroine,
Whose mantra Tuttare dispels all chaos,
And Ture, which fulfills all needs.
Svaha! To Tara I bow down.
Homage, Tara, swift, heroic,

Of the lord of the three worlds' lotus face.

Blazing with light rays resplendent
As a thousand constellations!

Giving, effort, calm, austerities,
Patience, Mediation her field.
Homage, Crown of Tathagatas,
She who goes in endless triumph,
Honored much by Bodhisattvas,
Having reached every perfection.

The regions and space quarters,
Trampling with her feet the seven worlds,
Able to draw forth all beings.

Shakra, Agni, Brahma, Marut,
Honored by the hosts of spirits,

At her heart, in Three-Jewel mudra,

With great masses of her own light.

Diadem emitting garlands,
Mirthful, laughing with Tuttare,
Subjugating maras, devas.
Homage, she able to summon
All earth-guardians and their trains,
Shaking, frowning with Her HUNG-sign,
Saving from every misfortune.
Homage, crowning locks adorned
With crescent diadem most shining,
From her hair-knot Amitabha
Shining with great light eternal.
Homage, she mid wreath of flames
Like aeon-ending fire abiding,

With her palm, and with her foot beats it,

She endowed with Om and Soha,
Destroyer of the greatest evils.
Homage, she bound round with joy,
Tearing foes' bodies asunder,
Luminous with the HUNG mantra,

Homage, Swift One, the foot-stomper,
With for seed the letter HUNG's shape,

A deer-marked moon, of deva-lake form,

The glorious state of Arya Tara,
And may all sentient beings without exception
Be placed in that very state.
