| - It seems likely that the image is a goddess of the Buddhist pantheon, in the Mahayana group. It's related to the concept of a female Boddhisattva, and at the same time the counterpart of the Hindu goddess , as a Tara , which is a peculiar development of Buddhism in Southeast Asia. (en)
- Although study of the relationship between the Agusan Vajralasya and the Nganjuk offering goddesses has been overlooked, it is clear that the Agusan image belongs to the same genre. (en)

| - The Agusan image (commonly referred to in the Philippines as the Golden Tara in allusion to its supposed, but disputed, identity as an image of a Buddhist Tara) is a 2 kg (4.4 lb), 21-karat gold statuette, found in 1917 on the banks of the Wawa River near Esperanza, Agusan del Sur, Mindanao in the Philippines, dating to the 9th–10th centuries. The figure, approximately 178 mm (7.0 in) in height, is of a female Hindu or Buddhist deity, seated cross-legged and wearing a richly-adorned headdress and other ornaments on various parts of the body. It is now on display in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. Since its discovery, the identity of the goddess represented by the gold statuette has been the subject of debate. Proposed identities of the gold figurine range from that of a Hindu Sivaite goddess to a Buddhist Tara. Recent scholarship suggests that the image represents the offering goddess Vajralāsyā of the Tantric Buddhist tradition. (en)
- Tara Emas adalah sebuah citra emas zaman Majapahit seberat 1,79 kilogram, 21 karat yang ditemukan di tahun 1918. Ketika dibeli oleh Field Museum of Chicago, mereka mengganti namanya menjadi 'Citra Emas Agusan' , meskipun nama ini ditolak oleh para sarjana di Filipina. H. Otley Beyer yakin bahwa citra itu adalah dewi Saiwa, namun dengan sikap tangan yang sangat penting secara keagamaan yang ditiru dengan keliru oleh pekerja lokal. Jadi ini menunjukkan bahwa Hinduisme sudah ada di Filipina sebelum Ferdinand Magellan tiba, namun juga menunjukkan bahwa orang-orang Filipina awal memiliki versi Hinduisme yang tidak sempurna yang mereka peroleh dari Majapahit. Sebuah penelitian mengenai citra ini dibuat oleh Dr. F.D.K. Bosch, dari Batavia, pada tahun 1920, yang sampai pada kesimpulan bahwa citra tersebut dibuat oleh para pekerja lokal di Mindanao, yang meniru sebuah citra Nganjuk dari zaman Majapahit awal - kecuali bahwa seniman lokal mengabaikan atribut pembeda yang ada di tangan. Mungkin ada hubungan dengan para penambang Jawa yang diketahui telah menambang emas di daerah Agusan-Surigao di pertengahan atau akhir abad ke-14. Citra ini kelihatannya mirip dewi Saiwa, dan cocok dengan nama "Butuan" (yang berarti "lingga"). — H. Otley Beyer, 1947 Setelah penemuannya pada tahun 1918 oleh seorang perempuan bernama Bilay Campos, citra tersebut dicuri dari penyimpanannya di dalam sebuah peti tersembunyi di dalam rumah Manobo tradisional perempuan ini. Sebelum dicuri, suku Manobos, di mana Campos berasal, memandang Tara Emas sebagai dewata, roh alam yang dianggap melindungi luasnya hutan hujan dan jalan air dari wilayah kekuasaan leluhur mereka.

- La Tara Dorata è una immagine d'oro del periodo Majapahit di 1,79 chilogrammi e 21 carati di una dea induista scoperta a Esperanza (Agusan del Sur), Filippine, nel 1918. Quando fu acquistata dal Museo Field di storia naturale di Chicago, Stati Uniti, fu rinominata Immagine d'oro di Agusan, benché questa denominazione sia respinta dagli studiosi filippini. credeva che l'immagine fosse quella di una dea śivaita induista, ma con i segni della mano, importanti dal punto di vista religioso, copiati male da operai locali. In tal modo essa suggerisce che l'induismo fosse già presente nelle Filippine prima che arrivasse Ferdinando Magellano, ma suggerisce anche che i primi Filippini avessero una versione imperfetta dell'induismo adottato dall'Impero Majapahit.
