Ekajati is one of the most potent and imposing protectors in Vajrayana Buddhist mythology. In accordance with Tibetan mythology, the tantric master Padmasambhava wounded her right eye to aid him in more efficiently taming Tibetan demons. Ekajati is also known as "Blue Tara," "Vajra Tara," and "Ugra Tara." She is frequently recognized as one of the three primary defenders of the Nyingma school, along with Rahula. Her typical role in the Green Tara mandala is that of a liberator. She is also said to be able to dispel personal barriers to enlightenment, lessen the dread of enemies, and spread joy.
