Praises to the Twenty-One Tara is a traditional prayer in Tibetan Buddhism to the female Bodhisattva Tara. (Tibetan called Drolma) also known as Arya Tara or Jetsun Dolma. The prayer is found in all four traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.
Each of the twenty-one emanations of Tara has her own name, and a specific mantra with which she is associated, offering protection from various types of fears, harm, and calamities.
Tara has Twenty-One ultimate emanations according to the mantra of the Buddha Samantabhadra called “Twenty-One Praises of Tara”. Twenty-One Tara with 21 specific colors serves with a specific function.
There are different styles and designs of tangka paintings that represent the Twenty-One manifestations of Tara based on distinct lineages and practices, in which forms, colors, ritual objects and even names or functions can vary.
Homage To The No.13 Taras - Yullay Gyalje
OM TARE TUTTARE TURE VAJRA DZAWALA PHAT PHAT RAKSHA RAKSHA SVAHA
Victorious Over War and Other Obstacles With and Without Form
Yullay Gyalje is semi-wrathful, has three eyes, and is red in color. She brings infinite joy to all beings and protects them from war and obstacles. Upon her utpala flower stands a vajra with open prongs. Light and sparkling Vajras radiate from the open Vajra, annihilating the hosts of enemies and harm-doers, completely surrounding everything with an indestructible Vajra tent.

Yullay Gyalje in Tibetan means “Tara, who gains victory over war”. She is renowned for protecting against all the obstacles related to wars. She is dark red in color. She can reverse the march of armies or stop the war completely. Her protection, also applies inwardly, too, as she stops hostile emotions born of conceptual thinking that disturb our awareness and wisdom and might lead us to warlike actions.
Om Homage to the noble lady Tara
Chhag tshal kal pai tha mai me tar
Homage to you, Tara, who dwell within a blazing garland
Bar wai threng wai u na na ma
That resembles the fire at the end of this world age
Ya kyang yon kum kun na kor gai
Surrounded by joy, you sit with your right leg extended
Dra yi pung ni nam par jom ma
And left withdrawn, completely destroying all the masses of enemies
Whoever is endowed with devotion for the goddess and recites this with supreme faith, remembering it at dawn upon waking and in the evenings, will be granted all fearlessness, will perfectly pacify all negativities, and will eliminate all unfortunate migrations.
The multitudes of conquerors will quickly grant initiation: Thus, endowed with this greatness, one will eventually reach the state of a Buddha. If affected by the most terrible poison, whether ingested, drunk, or from a living being, just by remembering will one be thoroughly cleansed.
If this prayer is recited two, three, or seven times, It will pacify all the sufferings of torments caused by spirits, fevers, and poisons, and by other beings as well. If you wish for a child, you will get a child; if you wish for wealth, you will receive wealth. All your wishes will be fulfilled and all obstacles pacified.
