Ārya Tārā Stuti

This manuscript is a devotional Buddhist text dedicated to Ārya Tārā, one of the most revered female deities in Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna Buddhism. The text begins with the invocation “Oṃ Namo Śrī Ārya Tārāyai” and contains verses praising the goddess Tārā, describing her radiant form, compassionate nature, and protective power. The concluding line indicates that the work is spoken by the “Samyaksaṃbuddha” (Perfectly Enlightened Buddha) and that the hymn consists of twenty-seven verses (Saptaviṃśati). Thus, the manuscript appears to belong to the tradition of Tārā-stotra or hymns dedicated to Ārya Tārā within the Vajrayāna Buddhist tradition.
