度母显义与隐义 · 第三偈：六波罗蜜的金色女尊

Praise to Tāra! Golden goddess,
Hand adorned with a blue, water-born flower
Whose field of activity is generosity, effort, endurance,
Pacification, patience and mental focus.

礼赞度母！金色女尊，
手中以蓝色水生花为庄严，
以布施、精进、坚忍、
寂静、忍耐与禅定为行境。

The golden goddess, hand adorned with a water-born blue flower²⁴, means you Goddess Tāra, who arose from generosity, effort, endurance, peace, patience and mental focus. You are the one who possesses all these six pāramitās and takes delight in them. In terms of the pāramitās, this is your, goddess Tāra’s conduct.

金色女尊、手中以蓝色水生花为庄严²⁴，说的就是您，度母女尊，您从布施、精进、坚忍、寂静、忍耐与禅定中生起。您具足所有这六种波罗蜜，并以此为乐。就波罗蜜而言，这正是您——度母女尊——的行持。

The profound meaning is as follows: water-born is the secret lotus and hand means the vajra²⁵. The union of those two gives birth to the unchanging effort, endurance and bliss of mental focus. With the realisation of emptiness, the wisdom that has pacified thoughts, you never depart from joyous effort. From that comes the patience that is able to bear with calm equanimity all pleasure and suffering; and the generosity that is carried out without self-clinging. That is the teaching of this verse.

深义如下：水生花是秘密莲花，“手”意指金刚²⁵。二者结合，生起不变的精进、坚忍与禅定之乐。依证悟空性、令分别念寂静的智慧，您从不离开欢喜精进。由此生起能够以平静舍心承受一切苦乐的忍耐，以及不带我执而行的布施。这就是此偈所教示的内容。
