Shokavinodana Tara

नमः प्रमुदितोद्रिप्त 

मुकुटाक्षिप्त मालिनी। 

हसत्प्रहसत तुत्तारे 

मार लोक वशङ्करी ॥

ॐ तारे तुत्तारे तुरे सर्वमारा त्र मर्ताय हूँ फेड स्वाहा

Homage to you whose very joyful and shining crown ornament Radiates a garland of light. Who with your mirthful laughter of TUTTARA, Subdue the demons and worldly gods.

OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SARVA MARA TRA MARTA YA HUM PHED SOHA
