Tara is described as seated in the pratyalidha asana, on the heart of a corpse,
supreme, laughing horribly, holding cleaver, blue lotus, dagger and bowl, uttering
the mantra Hum, coloured blue, her hair braided with serpents, the Ugratara.
She bestows all supernatural powers.
Her mantra is given in Mantra Mahodadhi as:
Om Hreem Streem Hum Phat
If Om is removed it becomes the Ekajata Mantra.
If Om & Phat both are removed it becomes Nila Saraswati Mantra
