No wonder your username is Tara. You have a bodhisattva's wisdom! :D

@SergioRamos women who achieved enlightenment were called -“Theris” bhai 😂
Yaar AFAIK, Tara was a prominent female bodhisattva in early medieval eastern India.
I'll still confirm though!

You're right. She was boddhisatva of the vajrayana sect.

Just the game of common sense imo. This comes with hindsight bias but even if I would've materialised on 50% of those, then 120-130 easily.
@SergioRamos bhai I don’t know the source but I have read it somewhere because it’s in my notes on Buddhism with other two terms i.e Arhat and Bodhisatva,if it’s wrong you let me know I will correct it
This is verbatim out of my History book-
The bodhisattva Tara was known in earlier centuries, but became increasingly important in the early medieval period. The Manjushrimulakalpa lists her various names—Bhrikuti, Mamaki, Lochana, Shveta, Pandaravasini, and Sutara. Later texts speak of her many forms, of which the Green and White were the most popular. These are said to have been born from the tears of Avalokiteshvara when he saw the terrible conditions in hell. Tara is considered to have a great capacity to relieve people’s suffering. The Mahapratyangira-dharani refers to her as the greatest deity. She is described as white in colour, wearing a garland of vajras around her neck, holding a vajra in her hand, and bearing the figure of Vairochana on her crown. Many Tara-stotras (Tara hymns) were composed from the 7th century CE. The 8th century Sragdhara-stotra describes her as one who gives strength to the weak and succour to those in distress, and as the saviour of all beings from sufferings of all kinds. Early medieval stotras elevate Tara to the position of a companion of Avalokiteshvara and mother of all the Buddhas, associating her with maitri (love) and karuna (compassion). In Tantric Buddhism, Tara came to be considered as the shakti (energy) of the Buddha, or as an emanation of one of the various Buddhas.One of the most frequent iconic representations of Tara in northern and eastern India depicts her in a form known as Khadiravani Tara or Shyama Tara, considered to be an emanation of the Dhyani Buddha Amoghasiddha. She is shown standing or sitting gracefully, with her right hand in the boon-granting varadamudra, and holding a lotus with a long stalk in her left hand. She has two attendants—Ashokakanta Marichi to her right and Ekajata to her left. Eight miniature goddesses or scenes are sometimes shown to the left and right. Another form of Tara is Mahachina Tara or Ugra Tara, an emanation of Akshobhya. This is her terrifying form, in which she appears four armed, standing on a corpse. She holds a sword and chopper in her right hands, and a lotus and skull cap in her left.

@KingSlayer23 I've almost given up my fear of prelims. It just feels like some end-sem exam in college. So either it will go horribly wrong or too good. Now, my feelings seem weird. Maybe will get the giddi giddi before the exam only. Or maybe I already had my fair share of giddi giddi before.
My nerves are tingling throughout the day.
When I was in my koopmanduk (not on forumias, as I have joined only few months back), I was so much satisfied with my prep.
But on this platform, everyone is a gem. Everyone knows so much. All of us deserve to be on the list after having read and practised mocks after mocks. The competition level is just too high. *Kitkitkitkit*

Wouldn't it be fun if we get one question from this excerpt that you just shared 😅
