Seven-line Supplication to Padmasambhava
HUNG
In the northwest of the land of Oḍḍiyāna,
In the center of a blooming lotus flower,
Is the one with supreme, wondrous siddhi:
The renowned lotus-born Padmākara,
Surrounded by a vast retinue of ḍākinīs.
Following in your footsteps, I pray:
Please come and bestow your blessings!
