śrī tārā sahasranāma stotram

A thousand names of Tara from the twentieth chapter of the Akshobhya Samhita, given there as a dialogue between Mahogratara and Akshobhya and titled in its own colophon the divine sovereignty of understanding. It opens by setting the scene north of Himavat, where Sadashiva sits in the form of Amba, at peace, dear to the yoginis. What distinguishes the list from the other thousands of Tara here is that the syllables enter it as names in their own right: a verse can run through pam, pim, pum and paum and then call her the one whose form they are, the one who delights in the sound of them, the breath itself and the giver of breath.
