________________ 561 The Sarvarahasyatantra (194) | zal mdses spyan ni yans pa dan / (194) Whose face is lovely, eyes wide, | sna tshogs rgyan gyis rab tu brgyan / adorned with multiform ornaments. One | kha dog ser po nid bsams zin / imagines her as yellow, spreading the /bud med sgyu ma'i dregs bdo ba || pride of an illusory woman. (193--194) "spreading the pride": (the goddess Tara), capable in the emergence of wis dom (jnana). (195) / phyag tu ut-pal dam pa ni / (195) One should contemplate (oneself) | ser po snan ba bsgom par bya / with yellow appearance, a sublime lotus | rdo rje nid 'dsin las byun ba / in hand, consisting of vajra-holding, salut| sems can kun gyi phyag byas pa'o // ed by all sentient beings. (195) "yellow appearance" : [santi-pa does not state the particular Buddha whose rank is here attained. Earlier, under verse 184, he mentioned Amoghasiddhi for this place. However, Amoghasiddhi is generally green in color, and the Tara is the green one. From the Tantra's specification of the yellow colour, we should expect the Buddha Ratnasambhava, who has the color yellow. According to B. Bhattacharyya, The Indian Buddhist Iconography (Calcutta, 1958), pp. 240--241, the Tara of yellow color going with this Buddha is Vajratara.] OM RU RU SPHURU JVALA TISTHA (Locana's vidya :) OM Speak!
