度母显义与隐义 · 第二十一偈：灿烂广大之光

Praise to Tāra! Truly possessing the power to pacify
With the arrayed three natural states.
Destroyer of hosts of evil spirits,⁷⁶ yaskhas and zombies,
TURE, completely supreme one.

礼赞度母！以三种本然状态庄严，
真实具足息灾之力。
摧毁恶灵⁷⁶、夜叉与起尸众，
TURE，最极殊胜者。

There are four meanings, the word meaning, the general meaning, the hidden meaning and the ultimate meaning. First, the three natural states are ‘emptiness’, ‘devoid of characteristics’ and ‘free of intention’. By establishing the disciples in the authentic mind itself, like that, all harms are conquered via these three doors of liberation.⁷⁷ This is done by means of the completely supreme TURE mantra. Also, TURE means swift one. ‘O supreme goddess, destroyer of evil spirits’; if we translate the meaning of this it means, the completely supreme one who swiftly destroys.

有四种意义：字义、总义、隐义与究竟义。第一，三种本然状态是“空性”“无相”与“无愿”。如此将弟子安立于真实心性，通过这三解脱门降伏一切损害。⁷⁷这是以最极殊胜的TURE咒而成办的。TURE也意为迅疾者。“啊，最胜女尊，恶灵摧毁者”，若翻译其义，即迅速摧毁的最极殊胜者。

Second, the general meaning is as follows. Within the mental focus that generates the form of Tāra the Liberator, one arranges the three syllables in the three places (means the array of the three natural states). Pacify means who supremely protects against obstacles and whose oral instructions also protect against harm from the evil spirits and so on.

第二，总义如下。在生起救度母身形的专注中，将三个字安置于三处（即三种本然状态的庄严）。“息灾”意为最胜地保护免遭障碍，其口授也保护免受恶灵等的伤害。

Third, the hidden meaning is as follows: the three natural states illuminate and expand to full attainment. The array of those states gradually arises and all the four moments comes closer to the luminous clarity-emptiness. Evil spirits means the channels, zombies means essential drops, yakshas⁷⁸ means conceptual consciousnesses. These all become destroyed in the expanse of the luminous-clarity. Completely supreme one means the form of the deity swiftly arises. That kind of awareness, from the luminous clarity of the brilliant light lamp, completely reveals and completely realises the union and reveals the two extremes.

第三，隐义如下：三种本然状态照耀、扩展而至圆满成就。那些状态的庄严逐渐生起，四刹那都更接近明空。恶灵意为脉，起尸意为明点，夜叉⁷⁸意为分别识。这一切都在光明界中被摧毁。“最极殊胜者”意为本尊之身迅速生起。那种觉知由灿光明灯的光明而来，完全显露并完全证悟双运，也显露二边。

Finally, in terms of the definitions of these words, in our tradition of the Guhyasamaja teachings of Nāgārjuna⁷⁹ they also state that for the explanation of the ultimate meaning, one should understand the hidden meaning. Fourth, the ultimate meaning. The three natural states are the vajra body, speech and mind. They are the primordial array of the nature of all phenomena. Since the primordial nature is completely pure, by meditating on the path, it truly possesses the power to attain peace. By the meditative equipoise on the ultimate expanse inseparable from the three vajras, the suffering of the harms of evil spirits and so on, the work of yakshas and demons, those afflictions are swiftly destroyed. Completely supreme means completely one with the primordial awareness of the spontaneously present great bliss.

最后，就这些词的定义而言，在我们龙树的密集教法传承中⁷⁹，也说解释究竟义时应当理解隐义。第四，究竟义。三种本然状态是金刚身、语、意，是一切法自性的本初庄严。由于本初自性完全清净，经由修道，便真实具有证得寂静的力量。通过在与三金刚不可分的究竟界中平等安住，恶灵等损害之苦、夜叉与魔的作用，这些苦患便迅速毁灭。“最极殊胜”意为与任运现前大乐的本初智完全成为一体。
