"...Great Devi Tara, yellow in color, with eight faces, the main face yellow. The three right [faces] are black, green and blue. The three left [faces] are white, red and blue. The face above is smoke colored and fearful with three eyes. With sixteen hands, in the right are a sword, utpala, arrow, hook, stick, curved knife and a gesture of removing fear. [In the] left [hands] are a lasso along with a threatening gesture, skullcup, bow, katvanga, a Vajra together with a lasso, the head of Brahma, gems, and a vase. Wearing a garland of heads and adorned with ornaments, wreathed in sunlight. The right leg is straight [standing] atop Indra, Rudra, Brahma and Vishnu." (Sadhanamala & Drub Tab Gyatso).
