==Alternative Lists==
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 [[terma]]s: one from [[Jikmé Lingpa]] and one from [[Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa|Chokgyur Lingpa]].
