English version After praising the Tathagata (Tathāgata, 'Thus-gone' or 'Thus-arrived', an epithet of the Buddha), (Avalokiteśvara) returned to his seat and spoke thus: 'This Dharani (dhāraṇī, a type of mantra or incantation) has been jointly proclaimed and joyfully approved by the Buddhas of the past, such as Vipashyin Buddha (Vipashyin Buddha, one of the seven Buddhas of the past), and my World-Honored One, Shakyamuni Buddha (Shakyamuni Buddha). And in the future, Maitreya Buddha (Maitreya Buddha), and all the Buddhas of asamkhya (asamkhya, countless) and others, will also proclaim it.' After saying these words, he entered the Samadhi of Universal Light Tara (Samadhi of Universal Light Tara). By the power of the Samadhi, from the pupil of his right eye on his facial disc, he emitted great light. Following the flow of light, a wondrous female form appeared, abiding in the Samadhi of Supreme Wonderful Color, adorned with priceless various treasures, like molten true gold reflecting on lapis lazuli. This is the key to achieving secret words of both worldly and other-worldly realms, capable of pacifying all kinds of suffering of sentient beings, and also capable of delighting all sentient beings, universally entering the Dharma-realm nature of all Buddhas, abiding equally like space. He universally announced to sentient beings, saying thus: 'Who is suffering from the pain of change? Who is drowning in the ocean of Samsara (saṃsāra, the cycle of death and rebirth)? I vow to liberate them.' After saying these words, he traveled through immeasurable and boundless worlds, returned to where the Buddha was, circumambulated three times to the right, prostrated his head and face at the feet of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva (Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva), held a blue lotus flower with palms joined in reverence, gazed up at the Bodhisattva, and remained to receive instruction. He contemplated the Tathagata's power of self-mastery, and with cool light universally illuminated sentient beings, like the cool moon in the world capable of removing heat and vexation, illuminating all dark places without exception. Furthermore, surpassing these, he contained a joyful smile, pitying sentient beings like a loving mother, and with compassionate light universally illuminated the Buddha-lands, causing the light of all the devas (deva, gods or deities) to disappear. At that time, Avalokiteśvara, the auspicious and pure one, after bowing to the World-Honored One, spoke in verse thus: 'For kotis (koti, a unit of large numbers, typically ten million) of kalpas (kalpa, an aeon or cosmic cycle), I have expounded on the principles and secret words of this Tara (Tara, a female Bodhisattva), as well as the times and directions for practice. Like this, the Buddhas of the past have also widely proclaimed it. Like space, which is boundless, no one can exhaust it. Now I will speak of only a small portion of it, expounding according to circumstances. If someone can practice wonderfully, all excellent wishes will be fulfilled, and the ten directions and lifespan, there is nothing that cannot be obtained as desired. If there are various sentient beings who now seek the fruits of humans and devas, uphold this wonderful Dharma, and practice according to what is said.'

尔时观自在说是偈已。即为多罗菩萨。说陀罗尼曰。 那慕啰怛娜(二合)怛啰(二合)夜耶娜莫阿利耶嚩噜吉帝湿嚩(二合)啰耶冒地萨埵耶摩诃萨埵耶摩诃迦路尼迦耶怛侄他唵多利咄多唎咄唎莎嚩(二合)诃 时观自在菩萨说陀罗尼已。以多罗菩萨威神力故。一切世界所有众生。离诸苦恼皆获安乐。悉发无上菩提之心。悉与法界体性相应。入于出生无边门藏。一切众会心生奇特叹未曾有。 观自在多罗菩萨经曼荼罗品第二 尔时观自在菩萨摩诃萨。告多罗菩萨言。若女人为欲成就一切种智。及欲满足世间胜愿。应当修习如是秘要。其曼荼罗。一如今日释迦如来在净居天宫。与诸菩萨集会之 现代汉语译本 甘露药 财富丰饶及仆人，一切五种欲望的快乐，应诵念一百万遍。如果我和如来（Tathagata，佛的称号），在无数的俱胝（koti，印度数字单位，通常指千万）劫（kalpa，极长的时间单位）中，演说此多罗（Tara，度母）的功德，仍然不能穷尽。持诵此多罗（Tara，度母）的人，应当接受人天供养。多罗（Tara，度母）是伟大的慈悲者，是一切众生的慈母，天人及药叉（Yaksa，一种神），没有一个不是她的孩子，所以被称为世间母，以及出世间。观音（Avalokitesvara，菩萨名）、大势至（Mahasthamaprapta，菩萨名），金刚（Vajra，佛教法器或指金刚手菩萨）与善才（Sudhana，童子名），文殊（Manjusri，菩萨名）、须菩提（Subhuti，佛陀弟子名），慈氏（Maitreya，即弥勒菩萨）与香象，月光（Candraprabha，菩萨名）、无尽意（Aksayamati，菩萨名），离垢（Vimala，菩萨名）虚空藏（Akasagarbha，菩萨名），妙眼及大慧，维摩（Vimalakirti，居士名）等菩萨，都是多罗（Tara，度母）的孩子，也是般若（Prajna，智慧）之母。三世诸如来，一切摩诃萨（Mahasattva，大菩萨），没有一个不是她的孩子，都称她为我的母亲，慈爱养育一切有情众生，安稳承载如大地。 这时观自在（Avalokitesvara，菩萨名）说完这偈颂后，就为多罗菩萨（Tara，度母）说陀罗尼（Dharani，咒语）曰： 那慕啰怛娜（二合）怛啰（二合）夜耶 娜莫阿利耶 嚩噜吉帝 湿嚩（二合）啰耶 冒地萨埵耶 摩诃萨埵耶 摩诃迦路尼迦耶 怛侄他 唵 多利 咄多唎 咄唎 莎嚩（二合）诃 当时观自在菩萨（Avalokitesvara，菩萨名）说完陀罗尼（Dharani，咒语）后，以多罗菩萨（Tara，度母）的威神力，一切世界所有众生，脱离各种苦恼都获得安乐，都发起无上菩提之心，都与法界体性相应，进入出生无边法门的宝藏。一切在场的众会心中感到惊奇，叹息从未有过。 观自在多罗菩萨经曼荼罗品第二 这时观自在菩萨摩诃萨（Avalokitesvara，菩萨名）告诉多罗菩萨（Tara，度母）说：‘如果女人为了想要成就一切种智（sarvajna，佛陀的智慧），以及想要满足世间的殊胜愿望，应当修习这样的秘密法要，这个曼荼罗（mandala，坛城），就像今日释迦如来（Sakyamuni，佛名）在净居天宫，与诸菩萨聚集一样。’
