There are two alternative lists of the Twenty-one Taras from the Indian tradition: one from Suryagupta and one from Nagarjuna and Atisha, in which the names, form, colour or function of protection vary. In the Tibetan tradition there are also two lists, which derive from termas: one from Jikmé Lingpa and one from Chokgyur Lingpa.
