The First Day of Vegetarian Festival

Homage, Lady, whose hand is adorned with a lotus, a lotus blue and gold,
Whose field of practice is giving, exertion, austerity, peace, patience, and meditation.
Homage, Lady, ushnisha of the Tathagatas, abiding in endless triumph,
Honored by the children of the Jina, having attained every perfection.
Homage, Lady, who fills all directions of space
with the syllables TUTTARE and HUNG,
Trampling the seven worlds with her feet, able to summon all before her.

From The Praises to the Twenty-One Forms of Tara
