Tara, you are uncreated, unceasing, and liberate to the very limits of space itself.
Tara, without appearance or obstruction, your supreme form is great radiance.
Tara, your non-existent form appears clearly as the perfection of samsara and nirvana.
Tara, you are the naked great bliss of awareness and emptiness that pervades all.
Tara, having embraced your son of luminosity and are gathered into a single sphere.
Tara, devoid of effort, you are the effortless clarity of the four joys.
Tara, most marvellous, there is no doubt of your granting relief to the weary.
Tara, most beautiful, you are perfect in and of yourself and pervade all.
Tara, you are the dharmadhatu—mother of all sugatas.
Tara, you are a special friend to all practitioners.
