Note 4 — Chapter XXVII
C. H. (Charles Henry) Tawney translation
Monier Williams says that Tárá was the wife of the Buddha Amoghasiddha. Benfey (Orient und Occident, Vol. I, p. 373) says she was a well known Buddhist saint. The passage might perhaps mean “The Buddha adorned with most brilliant stars.”
It has been suggested to me that Tárávara may mean Śiva, and that the passage means that the Śaiva and Bauddha religions were both professed in the city of Takshaśilá.
