同样，这个被称为具有加持力的救脱八难之赞，或许是另一个尼玛色巴所作。应当知晓并非这位导师所作。这位导师的主要弟子是遍知上师。此外，还涌现出无数成就度母明咒的导师。遍知上师传授给达那弥扎，他传授给达塔嘎达弥扎，他传授给僧伽罗洲的达玛弥扎，他传授给希拉热克沙达。这与斯盖巴多杰是同时代的人。据说在那之前传承没有中断，这是从以前的导师们的传记和故事的偈颂中出现的。在那些时候，关于八位导师从八种怖畏中解救出来的故事是：在印度南方，有一位名叫迪嘎瓦玛的导师，是一位严守戒律、精通三藏的大师。他依靠阎魔敌和度母出现的续部，成就了明咒。他在南方维达尔巴地区与外道婆罗门导师嘎布拉展开辩论，外道失败，他的一切活动场所都被佛教徒夺取。之后，这位导师在寺庙里与僧侣们一起讲经说法时，外道们放火烧寺庙。导师向圣救度母祈祷，圣救度母出现在虚空中，从天空中直接降下河流，平息了火焰。还有一位名叫阿玛拉僧哈的导师，是国王的书记官，出家后宣讲大小乘的论典。他依靠度母出现的续部，将圣救度母作为自己的本尊。他以西方马拉瓦地区为住所，为大约五百名学习论典的人讲授论典，据说在那里住了二十四年。在所有这些地方，他被大约五百名精通论典的眷属围绕着。有一次，那个地方有一个名叫拉里的黑方龙王。他突然降下无法忍受的暴雨，雨水汇成河流。

Similarly, this praise known as the "Blessed Praise of Saving from the Eight Fears" might possibly be by another Nyima Sebpa. It should be known that it was not composed by this teacher. The main disciple of this teacher was the Omniscient Spiritual Friend. Furthermore, countless teachers who had accomplished the vidyā-mantra of Tara appeared. The Omniscient Spiritual Friend taught Dhana Mitra. He taught Tathāgata Mitra. He taught Dharma Mitra of the island of Simhala. He taught Śīla Rakṣita. This was contemporaneous with Sgegpa Dorje. It is said that until then the lineage had not been interrupted, and that this comes from the biographies of previous teachers and the verses of stories. At those times, the story of the eight teachers who were saved from the eight fears is as follows: In southern India, there was a teacher named Dīkavarma, a great master who diligently kept vows and held the Tripitaka. He was one who had accomplished the vidyā-mantra based on this very tantra from which Yamāntaka and Tara arise. He debated with a heretical Brahmin teacher named Gāpurī in the southern region of Vidarbha. The heretic was defeated, and all his places of activity were taken by the Buddhists. Then, when that teacher was teaching the Dharma and giving a feast together with the monks in the monastery, the heretics set fire to the monastery. The teacher prayed to the Holy Lady, and the Holy Lady went into the expanse of the sky. A stream of water actually fell from the sky and extinguished the fire. Also, there was a teacher named Amara Siṃha, a royal scribe who had become a renunciate and spoke of the Abhidharma of the Great and Small Vehicles. Relying on the tantra from which Tara arises, he made the Holy Mother Tara his yidam. He established his residence in the western region of Malava, teaching the Dharma Abhidharma to about five hundred students of Abhidharma, and it is said that he stayed in that place for twenty-four years. In all those places, he was surrounded by a retinue of about five hundred who were training their minds in Abhidharma. Once, in that region, there was a black-sided Naga king named Lali. He suddenly sent down an unbearable torrential rain, and the rainwater turned into a river.

洪水如同亚穆纳河一般泛滥，眼看就要淹没导师的住所和许多城市。导师向圣救度母祈祷，洪水便多次右绕导师的住所和邬陀遮衍那城，最终汇入另一条大河。那伽（梵文：Nāga，नाग，naga，龙）回到了自己的住所，并带走了一个小的突厥城市。度母预言导师应著述一部关于词汇的论著，于是导师便著成了《不朽宝藏》。直到现在，这部论著在印度内外都非常流行。据说，文中所说的“国王的文书”指的是国王毗补罗羯磨提婆。还有一位导师名为天狮，他安住于居士的戒律中，精通大小乘的经藏和论藏，成为了喀什米尔国王诃利沙提婆的上师，是一位说法者。他在喀什米尔、拉合尔、玛茹等地受到国王、居士和婆罗门等各种人的信仰，并建造了大约五百座佛教寺庙。由于他在靠近喀什米尔的伽色尼等地广泛说法，突厥食肉鬼的习俗几乎消失。一位突厥食肉鬼的国王将导师囚禁，说：“你放弃皈依三宝，改信伊斯兰教还好，不然就杀了你。”导师说：“即使面临死亡，除了三宝之外，我也没有其他的皈依处。”于是国王便给他戴上铁镣，扔进可怕的监狱深处。导师向自己心念的本尊度母祈祷，铁镣便变成了花朵的链条。天女们在监狱里降下花朵和旃檀粉的大雨，奏响巨大的音乐声。突厥国王前来观看，看到铁镣不见了，又给他戴上另一副铁镣，但这副铁镣也变成了花环。就这样，七副铁镣都变成了花环，国王感到非常惊奇，便将导师奉为供养处。然而，导师在那里无法弘扬圣法，心生厌离，便前往了喀什米尔。还有一位名为僧伽蜜多罗的，是一位分别说部的大导师。

A flood occurred, like the Yamuna River overflowing, threatening to submerge the teacher's residence and many cities. The teacher prayed to the Holy Mother Tara, and the flood repeatedly circumambulated the teacher's residence and the city of Ujjayani to the right, eventually flowing into another great river. The Naga returned to its abode, taking with it a small Turkic city. Tara prophesied that the teacher should compose a treatise on vocabulary, so the teacher composed the 'Immortal Treasury.' Even now, this treatise is very popular both inside and outside India. It is said that the 'king's scribe' mentioned in the text refers to King Viprakarma Deva. There was also a teacher named Lion of the Gods, who abided in the vows of a layperson, was well-versed in the sutras and shastras of both the Greater and Lesser Vehicles, and became the guru of King Harshadeva of Kashmir, a Dharma speaker. He was revered by kings, householders, Brahmins, and various people in Kashmir, Lahore, Maru, and other places, and built about five hundred Buddhist temples. Because he extensively taught the Dharma in Ghazni and other places near Kashmir, the Turkic cannibalistic customs almost disappeared. A Turkic cannibalistic king imprisoned the teacher, saying, 'Give up taking refuge in the Three Jewels and convert to Islam, or I will kill you.' The teacher said, 'Even if faced with death, I have no other refuge than the Three Jewels.' So the king put him in iron fetters and threw him into a terrible prison pit. The teacher prayed to Tara, the deity of his heart, and the iron fetters turned into garlands of flowers. The goddesses rained down flowers and sandalwood powder in the prison, and played great music. The Turkic king came to see, and seeing that the fetters were gone, he put another set of fetters on him, but these fetters also turned into a garland of flowers. In this way, seven sets of fetters turned into garlands of flowers, and the king was amazed and revered the teacher as an object of veneration. However, he was unable to spread the Holy Dharma there, and feeling disgusted, he went to Kashmir. There was also a great teacher of the Vaibhashika school named Sanghamitra.

在梦中，于能仁大士眷属的跟前，有一位绿度母，她说：“你应该好好学习大乘。”因此他前往克什米尔，听闻了许多大乘显宗和密宗的教法。由于将圣救度母作为本尊，却未能找到听闻《般若波罗蜜多》的地方，听说在中土有一位名叫གྲོལ་སྡེ（解脱军）的论师讲授《般若波罗蜜多》，于是前往中土，但在路上被强盗抓住了，说：“必须用杀人流出的鲜血来祭祀女神杜尔迦，所以才抓住你。”到达女神杜尔迦的住所，如同坟场一般的地方时，向圣救度母祈祷，结果女神的塑像自己裂成了许多碎片。强盗们也因此惊恐逃窜，论师得以解脱。另外，还有一位名叫སུ་བྷ་ཥ་ཀིརྟི་（善贤称）的论师，是持律大德，内在依靠度母降临的续部作为修持，一次从中土按照西方的方向走去，最终在一座山上建造了寺庙，讲授佛法，僧团也因此兴盛起来。那里有很多噶洛的官员，那些剃光头、穿红衣服的人说：“这些人会危害我们，必须全部摧毁。”于是调来了大约三百头大象的军队。在那里向度母等祈祷，度母说：“向军队来临的方向洒水。”按照那样做了之后，所有的大象都非常害怕，谁也无法驾驭，便自己跑回去了。还有一位名叫བུདྡྷ་དཱ་ས་（佛陀奴）的论师，是达那普里的堪布，一次外出旅行，在一个空旷的村庄里有很多老虎的巢穴，论师询问情况，得知老虎们每天都要吃掉很多城市里的人，更不用说其他弱小的生物了。听后生起了极大的悲悯心，继续赶路，结果所有的老虎都向论师扑来，他向度母祈祷，念诵咒语并洒水，那些老虎便生起了平和的心，从此不再伤害众生，断绝食物而去世，作为转生为天人的征兆，出现了火。

In a dream, in front of the Great Sage and his retinue, there was a green goddess who said, "You should study the Mahayana well." Therefore, he went to Kashmir and listened to many teachings of the Mahayana Sutra and Tantra. Because he had the Holy Mother Tara as his personal deity, but could not find a place to hear the Prajnaparamita, he heard that in Central Tibet there was a teacher named Grolde (解脱军, Liberation Army) who taught the Prajnaparamita, so he went to Central Tibet, but on the way he was captured by robbers, who said, "We must offer the goddess Durga the blood of a murdered person, so we have captured you." When they arrived at the place of the goddess Durga, which was like a cemetery, he prayed to the Holy Mother Tara, and as a result, the statue of the goddess broke into many pieces by itself. The robbers were also frightened and ran away, and the teacher was freed. Also, there was a teacher named Subhashakirti (善贤称, Good Virtuous Name), a great holder of the Vinaya, who relied on the Tara-appearing Tantra as his practice. Once he went from Central Tibet in the direction of the West, and eventually built a monastery on a mountain, teaching the Dharma, and the Sangha also flourished. There were many Garlog officials there, and those shaved-headed, red-clothed people said, "These people will harm us, we must destroy them all." So they brought an army of about three hundred elephants. There, they prayed to Tara and others, and Tara said, "Sprinkle water in the direction the army is coming from." When they did so, all the elephants were very frightened, and no one could control them, so they ran back to their own places. There was also a teacher named Buddhadāsa (佛陀奴, Buddha's Servant), who was the Khenpo of Dhanapuri. Once he went on a journey and there were many tiger dens in a deserted village. The teacher asked about the situation and learned that the tigers were eating many people in the city every day, let alone other small creatures. Hearing this, he felt great compassion and continued on his way. As a result, all the tigers rushed at the teacher. He prayed to Tara, recited mantras, and sprinkled water, and the tigers developed peaceful minds. From then on, they no longer harmed sentient beings, abstained from food, and passed away, and fire appeared as a sign of being reborn as gods.

降下了巨大的花朵雨。另外，名叫“三宝之仆”的导师，是导师方象的弟子。他曾在东方奥迪比沙地区讲经说法，一次，从大海中出现一条巨大的毒蛇，吞噬了许多人和大象。当它靠近乌达卡拉城时，他看到无数众生将受到伤害，便猛烈地向度母祈祷，并撒了念诵度母咒语的芥子。说道：“此地虽是具力者之地，但您拥有利益众生的慈悲心。听从我的话，进入地下安息吧！”话音刚落，毒蛇立即退回，沿着恒河进入大海。还有一位名叫益西拉的导师，是寂天尊者的弟子。他在印度南方德里马拉地区长期从事听闻和讲说的活动，最终心想：“我应该在雪山中修行。”于是向北方走去，在底拉呼提地区做了各种有益的事情。当时，该地区的一个地方，一个属于塔鲁种姓的小城市，受到了梵天魔的侵扰，从村长到农业上师，所有人都同时死亡。就在那天，导师来到了那里，一个可怕的僵尸跑了出来，导师抛掷了念诵度母咒语的橛，僵尸的头顶被击中并倒下。导师进入城市，向度母祈祷，降下了能够复活死者的甘露大雨，城市里大部分死去的人都复活了。还有一个无需修持八成就也能成就的故事：一位以度母为本尊的比丘，为了建造寺庙而去乞讨。一位婆罗门给了一罐子“给罕”，他拿走后，在度母殿里做成了丸子。把剩下的一个放在太阳下，风把金屑和麻等丸子材料的灰尘吹到上面。他又做了一个丸子，在念诵咒语时，丸子的中间燃起了火焰。他把那个丸子带在身上。

A great rain of flowers fell. Also, a teacher named "Servant of the Three Jewels," who was a disciple of the teacher Dignāga, was teaching the Dharma in the eastern region of Oḍiviśa. Once, a great venomous serpent emerged from the great ocean and devoured many people and elephants. When it approached the city of Utkala, he saw that countless beings would be harmed, so he fervently prayed to Tara and scattered mustard seeds that had been blessed with the Tara mantra. He said, "Although this place is the land of the powerful, you possess the compassionate heart to benefit beings. Heed my words and go to rest under the earth!" As soon as he spoke, the serpent immediately retreated, entered the Ganges, and went into the ocean. There was also a teacher named Yeshe Lha, who was a disciple of Shantideva. He engaged in listening and teaching activities in the southern Indian region of Trimala for a long time, and finally thought, "I should meditate in the snowy mountains." So he went north and did various beneficial things in the region of Tirahuti. At that time, in one part of that region, a small city belonging to the Tharu caste was afflicted by a Brahma demon, and everyone from the village chief to the agricultural guru died at the same time. On that day, the teacher arrived there, and a terrible zombie ran out. The teacher threw a phurba that had been blessed with the Tara mantra, and the zombie was struck in the head and fell down. The teacher entered the city and prayed to Tara, and a great rain of nectar that could revive the dead fell, and most of the dead people in the city were revived. There is also a story of achieving accomplishment without having to practice the eight siddhis: A monk who practiced Tara as his yidam went begging in order to build a temple. A Brahmin gave a pot of "ghi," which he took and made into balls in the Tara temple. He left one of the leftovers in the sun, and the wind blew gold dust and hemp, and other dust from the ball materials onto it. He made another ball, and while he was reciting mantras, a fire blazed from the middle of the ball. He carried that ball on his body.
