Homage
to the noble lady Tārā!

Homage
to Ture, your feet stomping boldly,
ཧཱུྂ་གི་རྣམ་པའི་ས་བོན་ཉིད་མ། །

from the seed of the syllable hūṃ.

You
cause Meru, Mandara and Vindhya,
འཇིག་རྟེན་གསུམ་རྣམས་གཡོ་བ་ཉིད་མ། །

And
all the three worlds to tremble.
The seventeenth homage is to
Dolma Pagmed Nonma. She is orange like saffron, sits on a blue lotus and holds
a stupa. By saying TURE, stamping on the ground, and the radiating seed
syllables from the HUNG at her heart, she shakes all the abodes of the great
gods, including Mount Meru, Mandhara and Vindhya.
The effect of her
actions extends beyond the three thousand worlds. Her stamping causes the three
realms: desire, form and formless, on the subterranean, terrestrial and
celestial worlds, to quake and quiver.
By the power of her
frightening forces, she crushes butchers, thieves, and other enemies under her
feet and gives peace to all beings. The ultimate meaning is that the quavering
of the three worlds is purification of the three doors, (body, speech and
mind).
On the throne of
lotus and moon appears Noble Lady Tara Pagme Nonma, golden-red in color like
the clouds at sunrise.
She sits in the
dismounting posture. She has one face and two arms. Her right hand is in the
mudra of supreme charity. Her left hand, in the mudra of the Three Jewels,
holds the stem of an utpala flower.
On its pistil is a
stupa.
Rays of light in the form of countless syllables HUM radiate from the HUM in her heart. This light and her feet striking the ground shake Mount Meru, Mount Mandara, Mount Bindu- chal and the triple world.

By this wrathful
power, all the obstacles, objects of your concentration, are suppressed under
her feet. Meditate on this and recite the mantra.
