TĀRĀ, TĀRAKĀ. Wife of Brihaspati. According to the Purānas, Soma, the moon, carried her off, which led to a great war between the gods and the Asuras. Brahmā put an end to the war and restored Tārā, but she was delivered of a child which she declared to be the son of Soma, and it was named Budha. *See* Brihaspati.
