White Tara (Sitatara) is associated with long life. Her mantra is often chanted with a particular person in mind. She’s another representation of compassion, and she’s pictured as being endowed with seven eyes (look at the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and her forehead) to symbolize the watchfulness of the compassionate mind. Mama means “mine” and indicates that you’d like to possess these qualities of long life, merit, wisdom, happiness, etc. Ayuh is long life (as in Ayurvedic medicine).Punya means the merit that comes from living life ethically, and this merit is said to help one to live long and happily.  Jnana is wisdom.

In order to become enlightened we need to accumulate merit (that is, to develop positive qualities through living ethically and meditating) but we also need to develop wisdom through deep reflection. Pushtim means wealth, abundance, or increase. Kuru is a mythical land to the north of the Himalayas, which was said to be a land of long life and happiness (it may have been the original northern home of the aryans).svaha is an exclamation meaning “hail” or “may blessings be upon” and is a common ending to Buddhist mantras.
