taraNa - tarasvini

[Guest guest]

The mantra tAmagnivarNam has a beautiful phrase "sutarasi tarase namaH" --

"he sutarasi tarasvini taraNakushale tvameva asmaan samsaaragartaat sushhTu

taarayasi | tasyai tubhyam namah astu |". See

As Sri Ganapathy pointed out (quoting achArya's conversation) this is one of

the important (or the most important) sharaNagati mantras available.
