“Om! Praise to the Blessed Noble Tara...
Even a mother gets tired of a baby who constantly cries
for milk.
Even a father gets angry at a son who daily asks for things
he does not have.
But you, like a great wish-granting tree, fulfill the desirers
of this Triple World.
You never fail to grant the requests of all those who
reverence you...”
(Translated from the Aryatarasragdharastotra, after de Bloney (ed.), Matériaux pour servir
a l’étude de la déesse bouddhique Tara, Paris, 1895, pp.34-6.)
