The Praise to Tara with Twenty-One Verses of Homage and The Excellent Benefits of Reciting the Praise

Perhaps the most popular of all prayers to Tara, this tantra praises her twenty-one forms, both peaceful and wrathful. The first twenty-one verses are at once a series of homages to Tara and a poetic description of her physical features, postures, qualities, abilities, mantras, and hand gestures. The remaining six verses describe how and when the Praise should be recited, as well as the benefits of its recitation.
