The tenth homage is to Jigten
Sumgyal, “Victorious Over Three Worlds”, who subjugates worldly beings. She is
red and holds a victory banner. Multi-colored lights radiate from her crown,
giving perfect joy and fulfilling the temporal and ultimate wishes according to
the desires of beings. By saying the TUTTARE mantra
melodiously with the eight attributes of laughter, (of the wrathful deity) she
confuses and subjugates the demonic lords of the (sensory god realm), who are
known as the “Controllers of Other’s Emanation”.
She also subjugates
kings, ministers, sorcerers, and wealthy householders and leads them to the
path of liberation. In the root text, “the outer phenomena change only when
self-appearances transform.” Therefore, subjugation is possible if the intention
of the spiritual mother (non-dual emptiness-compassion) is attained, and there
is no alternate method.
The inner meaning
is the four joys subjugate demons and afflictions. The subjugation of the three
doors by blissful primordial wisdom is subjugation of the three worlds.
She sits in the
dismounting posture. Her right hand is in the mudra of supreme charity. Her
left hand, in the mudra of the Three Jewels, holds an utpala flower blooming at
her ear. On its pistil is a victory banner.
Intense light
emanates from her body and the victory banner, overpowering all the gods of the
Realm of Desire.
The mantra of her
speech, endowed with the eight modes of laughter, HA HAA, HI HII, HE HAI, HO
HAU, subjugates all the gods of Zhentrul Wangjed.
Imagine that all
beings respectfully pay homage to you and recite the mantra.
