1. Aṣṭamahābhaya Tārā. The distinguishing feature of this form of Tārā is that she sits in the Ardhaparyaṅka attitude and is surrounded by ten goddesses originating from the ten syllables of the Tārā mantra : Oṃ Tāre Tuttāre Ture Svāhā. These ten deities are identical in appearance with the principal deity.
