# Melody of Timeless Awareness: Supplication to Awareness Dakini Niguma
*Excerpt from Garland of Udumbara Flowers, by Jamgön Kongtrul*
Vajra Queen, mother of all the victors,
dark brown, adorned by bones, engaging space
granting supreme spiritual power to the fortunate—
Venerable Niguma, I supplicate you.
In the amazing land of the Kashmir valley
emanated from Madhyantika's blessings,
in the city known as Incomparable in the world,
you took sublime birth, I supplicate you.
In Santivarman's pure Brahmin family sphere,
Narotapa and you, Dakini of Timeless Awareness,
as brother and sister, matured as a pair
like the sun and moon, I supplicate you.
Manifest emptiness endowed with all supreme aspects,
you appear in the body of the progenitor of all victors,
though in the illusory form of worldly existence,
you abandon craving rebirth, I supplicate you.
Gone beyond levels and paths innumerable times before
so that in this life the naturally occurring achievements
found in your life of liberation are unimaginable—
dakini of coemergence, I supplicate you.
The subtle and profound meaning of tantras and instructions—
knowing one liberates all—develops potent twofold knowledge
that really sees without obscurity the true nature of phenomena—
glorious woman adept, I supplicate you.
In the empty expanse, binding mind, eyes, and winds,
you see the forms produced by spring's \[vital drops] in the dhuti
reflected vajra forms such as smoke arise all at once—
the stage of approach perfected, I supplicate you.
The life-force Rahu is blocked and falls to the belly,
life-force and downward-clearing \[winds] join in the six chakras
stopping the movement of the six elements, sun and moon—
the stage of near attainment perfected, I supplicate you.
Beyond the three great seals, the incomparable Great Seal
causes the innate light of unchanging coemergent bliss
to manifest tenfold illusory body with all its faculties—
the stage of attainment perfected, I supplicate you.
By blocking twenty-one thousand six hundred winds,
that many kinds of unchanging bliss were obtained,
bodhicitta stabilized in the crown and the levels instantly traversed—
the stage of great attainment perfected, I supplicate you.
Through proximate-cause conduct, you reveled in pleasures,
Vajradhara nurtured you and though of equal fortune,
your kaya of integral unity of training
enacts the welfare of all beings; I supplicate you.
All phenomena became manifest without obscurity,
you attained inconceivably millions of doors of absorption
and gained control over the secret treasury of all victors—
mother of all victors, I supplicate you.
Body of bliss, emptiness, and compassion inseparable,
epitome of common and supreme emanations of the sugatas,
mighty one of the tenth level, glorious guide of migrators—
adorned with bones, I supplicate you.
Please lead with your great nonreferential compassion
all grandmother sentient beings wandering in cyclic existence
from the ocean of fathomless and endless suffering
to the pure land of expanding, undissipating happiness.
Lovingly nurture those fortunate to have entered the path,
pacify all adverse conditions, obstructors, and obstacles,
increase out meditational experience and realization,
and bless us to complete the five paths and ten levels.
