Tārā, mentioned once (A.s.Ci.21.135),¹³³ may be either the Buddhist or the Hindu deity of that name.¹³⁴ The context – the series Jina, Jinasuta, Tārā, Bhāskara – may be in favour of coupling her with Bhāskara. On the other hand, it must be conceded that Tārā is very frequently met with in Buddhist literature and that she may be the same as Āryatārā.¹³⁵
