Destroyer of the Power of Evil Spells Cast by Enemies and Sorcerers
OM TARE TUTTARE TURE TRAM DU TRINA TRAM DU PHAT SVAHA
RIG NGAG TOBZHOM is peaceful and red in color. The light of her wisdom, compassion, and power completely destroys enemies, evil spells, and Mara, lord of negative forces. She grants the power of true speech to those who pray to her. Upon her utpala flower is a crossed vajra that completely destroys the power of curses, evil, and all negativity.
Special note: at times Drölma Rigngag Tobzhoma is depicted and described as peaceful and at other times as fierce, as in the Smile of Sun and Moon on which the Tara Mandala statues are based.
