Arya Mahalakshinii Sutra

The sutra introduces the Twelve Holy Names of the Great Glorified Female Being. It begins by paying respects to all buddhas and bodhisattvas. The bodhisattva Compassionate Eye Looking One goes before the Bhagavan, who then tells of the benefits of knowing and reciting the twelve names. These include eliminating poverty and becoming wealthy. The assembly of yakshas agrees. The Bhagavan then lists the twelve names, such as Glorified Female One and Female Great Light. It includes a mantra and states that reciting it three times will bring good fortune and protection. The bodhisattva praises the Bhagavan's teaching, and the sutra concludes.

Arya Mahalakshinii Sutra

The Sutra of the Exalted Great Glorified Female Being

In the language of India: Arya Mahalakshinii Sutra


In the language of Tibet: Phagpa päl chhenmoi do
In the English language: The Sutra of the Exalted Great Glorified Female Being

Prostration to all the buddhas and bodhisattvas.

Thus I have heard at one time. The Bhagavan (Destroyer-Qualified Gone Beyond One) was abiding in
the Blissful Realm. Then, the bodhisattva mahasattva, the Arya Compassionate Eye Looking One
Enriched with Qualities, went to the place where the Bhagavan was, prostrated his head at the feet of
the Bhagavan, circumambulated the Bhagavan three times, and sat down to one side. Then, the
Bhagavan looked at the Great Glorified Female Being and proclaimed to the Arya Compassionate Eye
Looking One Enriched with Qualities as follows:
“These twelve holy names of the Great Glorified Female Being, anyone – bhikshus (virtue beggar),
bhikshunis (female virtue beggars), upasakas (male nearing virtue), and upasikas (female nearing virtue)
– and none other than those – who knows of this, keeps this text, reads it, writes it, leads others in
writing it; this one will eliminate poverty and will become wealthy.”

Then, all the assembly of yakshas (jungpo) assented saying, “May it be so.”

Then, the Bhagavan proclaimed, “The twelve holy names of the Great Glorified Female Being are as
follows:”

The Twelve Holy Names of the Great Glorified Female Being

Pälden ma - Glorified Female One


Trashi ma - Auspicious Female One
Padmäi trengwa chän - One Having Lotus Garlands
Norgyi dagmo - Female Owner of Wealth

Tragpa chhenmo - Female Great Famous One
Padmäi chän - Eye of the Lotus
Jepa mo - Female Performing One
Ö chhenmo - Female Great Light
Zä jinma - Female Giving Food

For anyone who recites this three times, all opposing forces will perish and you will become the
fortunate one. You will have good fortune and you will have unceasing wealth. When you recite this and
then go to see someone, that person will regard you as his/her child, will be happy, and will do exactly
as he/she is asked.
If you recite this unceasingly, even if Brahma and the Brahmins do violent activities to bring harm, you
won’t be affected. It also becomes as if having made offering to many buddhas. The Bhagavan has
proclaimed it like that.

Then the Bodhisattva Compassionate Eye Looking One Endowed with Qualities rejoiced and highly
praised the teaching of the Bhagavan.

The Sutra of the Exalted Great Glorified Female One is completed.
