After this I made many wish-fulfilling prayers and requested the various teachings that had not been heard previously in
Tibet. The Divine Consort, Queen of Siddhas, Mandarava, replied in this way:
O Sky-dancer, you have mastery of the Tantra;
O shape-shifter, you have dissolved your corporeal impurity
in immaculate space;
You drank the nectar of Pema's precepts, gathering essences:
Surely you are the Great Mother of Perfect Wisdom!
You entered the path of seeing the truth of the teaching;
You repudiated the eight petty preoccupations of this life;
You performed the austerity of extracting and consuming essences,
And reduced the universe and its energy to sameness:
I bow down to you, Tsogyel, immaculate maiden.
Through your skill in ascetic yoga you have liberated beings,
Sinful beings, blown by the storm of karma and slaves to endless samsara!
