Yoko Dharma chants the glorious eight lines of praise to Vajra yogini Vajravarahi in Sanskrit with beautiful meditative images.
This is a praise that pays homage to Vajravarahi Vajrayogini who is the supreme wisdom of the Buddhas. In each line we are basically asking her to cut our delusions, our inner and outer obstacles, and our attachments to illusory notions of reality. She is the Queen Dakini who dances in Shunyata (emptiness) - and is the epitome of the concepts found, for example in the Heart Sutra (Often in her practice we chant the Heart Sutra Gate mantra first).
HUM and PHAT are common to all the lines. Hum means the Union of Wisdom and Compassion in the context of Dakinis and PHAT means to “Cut our obstacles” (or destroy, eliminate, help us see them as illusions, etc.)
OM NAMO BHAGAVATE BAGAVATE BAGAVATE VAJRA VARAHI BAM HUM HUM PHAT
OM I prostrate to Bhagavati Vajravarahi HUM HUM PHAT. (PHAT usually means “cut my delusions and obstacles)
OM NAMO BHAGAVATE BAGAVATE BAGAVATE VAJRA VARAHI BAM HUM HUM PHAT
OM Arya, queen of knowledge women, invincible in the three realms HUM
OM NAMO SARVA BHUTA BHAYA VAHE MAHA VAJRA HUM HUM PHAT
OM You destroy all fear of evil spirits with your great vajra HUM HUM PHAT
OM NAMO VAJRA SANI AJITE APARA-JITE VASHAM KARI-NETRA HUM HUM PHAT
OM You abide on the vajra seat, invincible, with overpowering eyes HUM
HUM PHAT
OM NAMO BRAHMANI SHOSHANI ROSHANI KRODHE KARALENE HUM HUM PHAT
OM You desiccate phenomenon (sense passions and attachments) with your fierce and wrathful female form HÜM HÜM PHAT.
(Brahma here, refers to illusory phenomenon (caused by passions and attachments from the sensory illusions) of our world, NOT to the creator god)
OM NAMO TRASANI MARANI PRABHADANI PARAJAYE HUM HUM PHAT
OM You conquer opponents by terrifying and desiccating demons HÜM
HÜM PHAT (*demons is inner and outer, opponents is all the 10 poisons)
OM NAMO VIJAYE JAMBHANI STAMBHANI MOHANI HUM HUM PHAT
OM You vanquish all those that stupefy, paralyze, and confuse HÜM HÜM PHAT
OM NAMO VAJRA VARAHI MAHA YOGINI KAME-SHVARI KHAGE HUM HUM PHAT
