The Tantra of Tārā, Source of All the Different Activities (Wyl. sgrol ma las sna tshogs 'byung ba'i rgyud, Skt. tārā viśvakarma bhava tantra)- a tantra of Tārā. Taranatha, in his Golden Rosary, says that Avalokiteshvara taught millions of verses or Tara tantras, but most of them have been lost. The present tantra found in the Tibetan Kangyur was translated in the 12th century, and is classified as a Kriya Tantra.
