tārā-devi-sādhana

The Practice of Goddess Tara

     I prostrate myself before Goddess Tara!
    [Having performed] the rituals explained earlier, in the middle of this nectar chakra on the seed syllable from the first of the five syllable sections, everything ends with the second of the first. When you do this, [there will appear] an ornament made of half a moon and a bindu. Meditate on the goddess that arises from this, Tara. With a green body, two hands. The right hand [in the mudra] of supreme giving. The left hand holds an utpala. She sits on a lotus and the moon. Imagine that she is adorned with all kinds of ornaments.
     Then form the mudra. When you join the palms of both hands, join the index fingers with the middle fingers. When you do this, spread them apart. This is the mudra of the open utpala of the goddess Tara. After that, recite the mantra:

    oṁ tāre tuttāre ture svāhā
     This concludes the practice of the goddess Tara.
