tārā-graprāpti-nāma

Finding the supreme Tara

    I prostrate before the holy Tara!
    Due to the sequence that was proclaimed earlier, realize meditation on everything down to emptiness. Meditate that you yourself instantly [appear] as Tara. Having done so, look at the syllable tāṁ in the heart, which is like an emerald in color. With crossed [legs], straighten the body vertically in a line, and do the mudra of staying in balance, etc. Because the body has five positions, the movement of prana is cut off. After a strong flame erupts from the navel, a bhindu begins to fall from the top of the head and makes contact with the syllable tāṁ. From the syllable tāṁ [begins to drip] molten substance. Imagine that by covering the whole body in this way, the samādhi of Great Bliss is engendered.
    If one is diligent in pranayama, it will appear in reality for seven days. If one drops seed, then one should remember the precepts.
    Then light is emitted from the syllable tāṁ. The whole vessel and its contents are gathered into oneself. The self also gathers in the syllable tāṁ. tāṁ also successively becomes invisible. When you do so, cast off the comprehension of existence and non-existence. Then you will be sealed in the bliss of emptiness. If comprehension in thoughts manifests, meditate on the bliss [of emptiness], which is similar to the preceding. Meditate on emptiness, which corresponds to the great bliss that follows. Discard association with other comprehensions. If you meditate for six months, you will attain the supreme.
    Thus concludes the practice of the supreme Tara, compiled by Acharya Pindapatika, that found siddhi.
