第十三偈：劫末火 Thirteenth Verse: Aeon-Ending Fire
Praise to Tāra! Residing in the centre of a halo
blazing like an aeon-ending fire,
right leg extended, left drawn in,
fully circulating with joy, defeating hordes of enemies.
礼赞度母！安住光轮中央，
炽燃犹如劫末之火，
右腿伸展、左腿收屈，
欢喜周遍旋转，摧伏怨敌众。
The term aeon-ending fire means residing in the centre of a massive garland of fire which incinerates a universe57. Within that is completely immaculate joy that is unperturbable. With right leg extended, left drawn in, circulating with wrathful poses and movements, these manifold displays are joyful. Enemies means the hordes of human and non-human harm-doers are totally defeated.
“劫末火”意为安住焚毁宇宙的巨大火鬘中央57。其中具有完全无垢、不可动摇的欢喜。右腿伸展、左腿收屈，以忿怒的姿态和动作旋转，这些种种展现皆为欢喜。“怨敌”意为人及非人的诸多作害者全被摧伏。
The hidden meaning is as follows: the fire of the primordial awareness, inner heat tummo is like an aeon-ending fire; the cause of the pervasive origin of appearance and the body. Right leg extended and left drawn in, fully circulating with joy means the right and left channel and the upward and downward movement of the ‘life-force’ and ‘downward cleansing winds’58 is fully circulating within them. The dissolution of the five elemental sources59 in each of the individual main energy chakras is the source of the manifestation of the manifold display. With joy means the wind energies transform into the bliss of the essential drops; defeating hordes of enemies means abandoning the ‘demons’ of afflictive mind-states.
本篇原注
57
The Abhidharma describes the seven stages of destruction of the universe, by fire, water, and wind, after which this world will totally disappear. The first step of this destruction to come will be the biggest fire we can possibly imagine. These flames, powerful enough to destroy a universe, are a reflection of the great energy Tāra can apply to her enlightened activities.
阿毗达磨描述了宇宙被火、水及风毁灭的七个阶段，此后这个世界将完全消失。未来这一毁灭过程的第一步，将是我们所能想象的最猛烈的大火。这些足以毁灭一个宇宙的火焰，映照出度母施于其觉悟事业的巨大能量。

In the Kālacakra tradition, the winds of the upper half of the body above the navel are described as life force winds (srog rlung) and the winds of the lower half below the navel are described as the downward-clearing winds (thur gsel rlung). In practise these two winds are brought together and unified at the navel chakra in the central channel.
在时轮传承中，身体肚脐以上上半部的风称为持命风（srog rlung），肚脐以下下半部的风称为下行清净风（thur gsel rlung）。在修持时，这两种风被引到一起，在中脉的脐轮处合一。

The Tibetan word, ‘byung ba can also be translated as ‘elements’, referring to the earth, water, fire, wind and space.
藏文 ‘byung ba 也可译为“元素”，指地、水、火、风、空。
