The great flag of windhorse, auspicious and sweet-sounding far and wide,

Sends out a vast cloud of excellent offerings, like those of Samantabhadra.

The miraculous and powerful king of horses is Balaha,

Adorned with various jewels and soaring like the wind.

With vajra strength he travels, unimpeded, wherever is desired.

From his four miraculous limbs there manifest:

A tiger, lion, garuda and dragon, riding and soaring throughout the four directions.

On the ground and in the air, through the whole of space they move,

Bringing the beautiful sounds of happiness, excellence, victory and accomplishment,

Auspicious songs and the resounding drumbeat of the gods.

The sweetest sounding music plays as rains of flowers descend.

Clouds of divine offering substances fill all of space in every direction,

And all that is excellent throughout the three worlds—

Auspiciousness, glory and riches—manifests spontaneously.

This vast offering treasure containing all that could be wished for,

We offer now to the root and lineage masters, the peaceful and wrathful yidam deities,

The dakinis of the three places, and the oath-bound dharma protectors,

Together with dralas, wermas, wealth gods and treasure-keepers,

Local deities, masters of the earth and all who protect what is beneficial and wholesome.

Before all you guests who care for and look over us,

We pray, present offerings, praise and exalt you!

Through offering these supreme and delightful gifts,

By the forceful vajra wind of your power and strength,

For us practitioners and those around us:

May our span of life increase, our merit too, and the strength of our windhorse.

With your unobstructed activity, may you fulfil all our wishes and desires!

May you transform whatever hinders us, turning it into a support.

May you raise the flag of auspiciousness and virtue,

Overcome all who oppose and stand against us,

And, with your enlightened activity, make us victorious over all!

These verses, which are of an auspicious number, were written in the Water Hare year (1903) on the auspicious occasion of the tenth day of the ninth month, in the hermitage of Padma Samten Deden Ling in Rudam, by Mipham Nampar Gyalwa. May virtue and goodness abound!
