In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist IconographyDurgottāriṇī (दुर्गोत्तारिणी) or Durgottāriṇītārā refers to a deity from the Green Tārā family, according to Buddhist Iconography.—Durgottāriṇī Tārā has green complexion, the lotus for her seat, and garments of white colour; she has four arms and she carries m the first pair of hands the noose and the goad and displays in the second the lotus and the Varadamudrā. [...] Strictly speaking, only those deities can be called Tārās to whom the mantra: “oṃ tārā tuttāre ture svāhā” is assigned. [...] From the colour of the different Tārās it will be possible to refer them [viz., Durgottāriṇī] to their respective Kulas or families presided over by the five Dhyāni Buddhas.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
