It is sanskrit, translation is a praise, i can't give details because this mantra is supoused to be secret.

Interesting thing will be yo know how/why you get this, it is very auspicious for you.

No, this is not a secret mantra. This is actually a dharani coming from a sutra.
As for the meaning, I think it goes something like that:
Namo = homage to
Sarva = all
Thathagatanam = those thus gone
Vipula = abundant, large, extensive
Garbhe = [vocative case] seed, womb, calyx
Mani = jewel
Prabhe = [vocative case] shining forth, illuminating
Nidarsane = proclaiming, teaching, disclosing
Suprabhe = [vocative case] glorious, splendid, brilliant
Vimale = [vocative case] clean, pure
Sagara = worthy of praise
Gambhire = accomplishing
Jvala = flame, blaze, blazing out
Buddha Vilokite = maybe “seen or beheld by Buddhas” or ‘Buddha who sees” not sure about this one
Guhya = secret, concealed
(A)dhistite = maybe “resolute”, not sure about this one either but I think it might derive from adhisthana = steadfast resolution.

I have a very, very rudimentary knowledge of Sanskrit so I'm not sure I got the right meaning, though. Please take that with a grain of salt.

Apparently the name of that sutra is Vipulagabhe Maniprabhe Tathagata Dharani Sutra. You can read an English translation here:

Fantastic, had wondered at the origin of this dharani, glad to come into contact with this sutra.

[ratna]

In the Tibetan tradition, it comes from a text, included in the Tantra and Dhāraṇī sections of Kangyur, titled Ārya mahāmaṇivipulavimānaviśvasupratiṣṭhitaguhyaparama rahasyakalparāja nāma dhāraṇī.

Thanks for the link but it's all in Tibetan. Is this the correct link? Or did you transliterate the title from Tibetan to Sanskrit?

[ratna]

Yes, the Tibetan text has the title in original Sanskrit at the beginning, in Tibetan script.

Hello. Tell me please what translation of the mantra?
Namo sarva tathagatanam om vipula garbhe mani prabhe tathagata nidarśane mani mani suprabhe vimale sagara gambhira hum hum jvala jvala buddha vilokite guhya dhishthita garbhe svaha.
What does each word mean?

Only versions. I don't know BHS and my knowledge of sanskrit equals 1 week without 10 years ))) The dharani is not 100% coinsize to the rules of classical sanskrit. It must be something like that according to the classical rules (I hope) :

Oṃ vipulagarbhe maṇiprabhe tathāgatanidarśane
maṇimaṇī suprabhāvimale sāgaragāmbhīre hūṃ! hūṃ! jvala! jvala! buddhavilokite guhyādhiṣṭhite garbha svāhā

...Oh, the greatinside! Oh, thepreciouslight! Oh, theteaching(or magic abilities)oftathagata! Oh, thepreciousjewel! Oh, thesuperstainlesslight! Oh, theoceanprofound! hum! hum! Flame (or blaze)! (it is a verb of 1-st kind, in imper. mood, singular, active, second person, from -jval-) Flame! Oh, allbuddhaseer! Oh, inprofoundresiding! Oh, garbha (fire, inside, offspring, child, essense - I don't know) hail!

BUT PLEASE REMEMBER this is only an assumption. One in 100000 and according (I hope again) to the classical rules which were not used by buddhists. There is no chance to translate smth from a language where one word have over than 60 meanings and it is not a joke. Not to mention numerous doctrinally buddhist and not accordingtothelanguage interpretations.

Ideally there should be something like this

This is a great dharani. One who chant it is destined to the Vipalagarbhe Maniprabhe tathagata buddaksetra (field) ))

Are the first two words in the title in the locative?

Neutral dual like compound and vocative i suppose... There is a chaos in gender and cases in an otherway.

Actually the secrecy is related to The Shaker of sansara Padmadhara but not to the Vipulagarbhe maniprabhe tathagata

Yeah. I've hard another theory that these -e stems come from Maghadi Prakrit, depending on the age of this dharani. I was wondering if you knew anything about that theory.
