DOLMAS WORSHIP. 319 



"Hail! Thou cleanseth the mist 

 From off the eyes of sun and moon ! 

 By saying ' Ta-ra'' and ' Tu ta-ra ' 

 Thou savest from the most fearful plague ! 

 Hail ! Thou forceth the three worlds to admit 

 Thy benign use of godly power, 

 With Thy potent ' Ta-re ' 

 Thou routest the host of ghosts and devils 1 

 We proclaim the might of Thy mystic spells. 

 All Hail to these — 

 Thy one-aud-twenty forms ! "

 Prayer for Blessings. 



" I beg thee O ! Revered Victorious and Merciful One ! to purify 

 "me and all other beings of the universe thoroughly from the two evil 

 "thoughts; and make us quickly obtain the perfection of Buddha. If 

 "we cannot attain this perfection within a few generations, tlien gi-ant 

 " us the highest earthly and heavenly happiness and all knowledo-e. 

 " And relieve us, we beseech Thee, from evil spirits, plague, disease, 

 "untimely death, bad dreams, bad omens and all the eight fears and 

 "accidents. And in our passage through this world grant unto us the 

 "most perfect bliss — without possibility of increase — and may all our 

 " desires be realized without exertion. 



"Let the holy religion prosper, and in whatever place we dwell, 

 "we beg Thee to soothe there disease and poverty, fighting and 

 "disputes, and to increase the holy religion. 



"And may Thy good^ face always beam on me and appear large 

 " like the moon in forwarding my heart's object of admission to the 

 "heavenly circle and Nirvana. 



"Let me obtain the favourite god of my former life, and let me 

 "gain entry into the prophesied paradise of the Three Buddhas of 

 "the past, present, and future. 



" Now ! ! Thou ! The Great Worker ! 

 Thou quick Soother and gracious Mother, 

 Holding the utpal flower ! 

 Let thy glory come !
