SragdhArA stotra is a Buddhist hymn composed by Sarvajnamitra in praise

of bhagavatI tArA. JinarakShita, whose TIkA on the stotra is popular,
describes Sarvajnamitra as a devout bauddha bhikShu who, having given
away everything he possessed, wandered as a mendicant. Once, while he
was on his way to the kingdom of vajramukuTa, he met on the way a poor
old brAhmaNa who was in a very pressing need for money for the marriage
of his daughter. The brAhmaNa, who was going to Sarvajnamitra for help,
having learnt that the latter had nothing except the begging bowl and a
robe, fell into great despair. Sarvajnamitra however consoled the
brAhmaNa and promised him to grant his wish. Meanwhile, the king of
vajramukuTa was told by a certain tAntrika, bhairava paNDita, that all his
desires would be fulfilled if he could wash himself sitting on a hundred
freshly severed skulls. The king, who had already secured ninety-nine
persons, completed the number hundred by purchasing Sarvajnamitra, who
sold his person for its weight in gold, which was given to the poor
brAhmaNa. The hundred victims were led to the executioner's tank by the
king's soldiers. Finding no other means of escape, Sarvajnamitra composed
the hymn in sragdhArA meter in praise of Arya tArA, whereupon all the
victims were miraculously saved and taken to their respective homes.
Heaps of gold equal to the weight of the victims remained deposited on the
edge of the tank.

By examining rAjataraMgiNI, it becomes known that Sarvajnamitra resided

in kAshmIra around 8th century A.D. VajramukuTa, who later became a
disciple of the monk, has been identified by scholars as vajrAditya, son of
lalitAditya, king of Kashmir in the 8th century A.D.
This hymn is recited devoutly by Buddhists to invoke the instant grace of
tArA. Miraculous instances of assistance by the Goddess have been
reported by Buddhist enthusiasts. A Buddhist acquaintance, who is a well
known master of Buddhist Tantra and an ordained monk, mentioned that he
makes it a point to recite the stava before undertaking rituals for deities
such as vajrakIlaya or mahAkAla to invoke the protection of the great
tAriNI.
