Ugra Tara ( Maha Cheena Tara) of Sadhana Mala

(Maha Cheena-Tara)

She stands in the Pratyalldha attitude, and is awe-inspiring with a garland

of heads hanging from the neck. She is short and has a protruding

belly, and her looks are terrible. Her complexion is like that of the

blue lotus, and she is three-eyed, one-faced, celestial and laughs horribly.

She is in an intensely pleasant mood, stands on a corpse, is decked in

ornaments of snakes, has red and round eyes, wears the garments of

tiger-skin round her loins, is in youthful bloom, is endowed with the

five suspicious symbols, and has a protrudiug tongue. She is most

terrible, appears fierce, with bare canine fangs, carries the sword and

the Kartri in the two right hands and the Uptala and the Kapala in the

two left. Her Jatamukuta of one coil is brown and fiery and bears the

image of Aksobhya within it."
