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."
