度母显义与隐义 · 第十八偈：HARA 与 PHET 除毒

Praise to Tāra! Who holds in her hand
the’ hare-shaped’ moon⁷¹, like a divine lake.
Cleansing all poisons without exception
With twice-said HARA and then PHAT.

礼赞度母！手中持有
如天湖般“具兔相”的月亮⁷¹，
以两遍 HARA，继以 PHAT，
清除一切毒无余。

Divine lake, means the ‘Lake Mānsarova’, or resembling a pool that has the aspect of being relaxed and gently-flowing. She is the one who has the knowledge mantra HARA, spoken twice. Finally, with the mantra support of PHAT, she eliminates, without exception, the poisons of the animate and inanimate. To illustrate that, one meditates that her form eclipses the moon. By recitation of the distinctive mantra, she eliminates and cures the poisons of snakes and so on. As for the mantra HARA, that is said twice: Om nama tare mo hare hūṃ hare sva ha. And then at the end, sarva bidza zharinya du ru phat is labelled the mantra from the wrathful Tāra that eliminates poison. That is the meaning of the final sentence.

“天湖”意为“玛纳萨罗瓦湖”，或如具有舒缓、柔和流动之相的水池。她具有说两遍的HARA明咒。最后，以PHAT咒为助伴，她无余消除有情与无情之毒。为表明这一点，观修她的身形胜过月亮。持诵其特有咒语，便消除并疗治蛇毒等。至于说两遍的HARA咒：Om nama tare mo hare hūṃ hare sva ha。然后，末尾的sarva bidza zharinya du ru phat，称为忿怒度母的除毒咒。这就是末句之义。

The definitive meaning is as follows. Divine means the body’s elements. The lake is the spontaneously present bliss, the stabilised kunda. The primordial awareness of emptiness which is inseparable from that, is like the moon, stainless. Over what does she have mastery? That is the meaning of what she holds in her hand, mastery of the inseparable bliss-emptiness. HARA means ‘to rob’ [or take away]; by reciting it twice, she robs our faults and negativities of the two obscurations. Conquering and destroying the poison of an impure body.

了义如下。“天”意为身体诸界。“湖”是任运现前之乐，即安住的昆达。与之不可分离的空性本初智，如月无垢。她对什么拥有自在？这就是她“手中所持”之义，即对不可分离的乐空拥有自在。HARA意为“夺取”［或拿走］；诵两遍，便夺去我们的过失与二障恶垢，降伏并摧毁不净身体之毒。
