ཏཱུ་རེ་དོན་རྣམས་ཐམས་ཅད་སྟེར་མ།། སྭཱཧཱ་ཡི་གེ་བཅས་ལ་རབ་དུད།།
TURE DönNam TamTchä TerMa – SOHA YiGer TchäLa RabDü
TURE grant the entire comprehension – (With) SOHA I greet with reverence the letters (of the Mantra).
This come from a time when Incomparable Noble Lord (Atisha), in a province of NyèThang, being sick, had requested Tara to (obtain) a method (in order to) remain in good health. The Venerable Tara said to do every day ten thousand prayers to Tara (in twenty-one praise). Like this it has been professed. Atisha said in one day he was not able (to do so) and did the request to get an other method. Like this it has been said. In response, with lot of benediction, Tara has transmitted directly this prayer to Tara highly condensed.
