Tara is the manifestation of the pure state of the element air and for this reason is considered more important than the other Great Yum, or female elemental manifestations. This is because the nature of Air is movement, from which arises the "energy." Therefore, because the manifestation of the energy of the elements depends on the nature of the element of Air, it is not considered the same as the other elements, in either the Sutras or the Tantras.
Tara represents the function of Compassion, the energy of all the Illuminates and their wisdom. For this reason the ancient generations of the Indian and Tibetan people considered Tara as having great importance as a Divity and a Yidam.
