Noble Lady Tara Rigngag Tobjom,
Destroying the Power of Evil Spells Cast by Enemies and Sorcerers.
The
sixteenth emanation of Tara has special powers to stop the negative intentions
of others, such as spells and curses.
Her
name is Tara Rigngag Tobjom. Rigngag may have several meanings, but in this
case it refers to misusing the mantra or other aspects of practice for evil
purpose, to harm. Thus the meaning of her name is “Tara who destroys the power
of bad intentions”.

And set forth each of your mantra’s ten
syllables.
The sixteenth homage is to Drolma Barvai Odcan, “Tara Who Averts
the Enemies and Mantra’s Spell,” who is red like the fire at the end of eon,
sits on blue lotus, and holds a crossed vajra.
She is surrounded by a host of vidyadharas and mendicants who
have accomplished the practice of mantra and power of truthful speech and are
endowed with perfect joy of samadhi.
Their radiance scatters the bodies of the foes and overcomes the
power of magical spells and the power of sorcery, destroying them without a
trace.
By reciting her mantra arrangement of the ten syllables, OM TARE
and so on, she At the heart of the wrathful lady, awareness rests in the form
of a HUNG radiating light that clears the outer, inner, and secret obscurations
of the beings to be tamed.
The ultimate meaning is that by subduing the foe of the impure
appearance of our body, the awareness body of the Mother of the Victorious Ones
is accomplished: the unchanging great blissful body endowed with the ten
powers.
On the throne of lotus and moon appears Noble Lady Tara Rigngag
Tobjom, red in color, with one face and two arms. She sits in the dismounting
posture. Her right hand is in the mudra of supreme charity. Her left hand, in
the mudra of the Three Jewels, holds the stem of an Utpala flower.
On its pistil is a crossed Vajra that completely destroys the
power of curses, black magic and the evil spells of enemies.
Meditate on this and recite the mantra.
