Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/The Lotus-Born/Glossary + (Princess of Sahor and close disciple of Gu … Princess of Sahor and close disciple of Guru Rinpoche, she was one of his five main consorts. Her name refers to the coral tree, Erythrina indica, one of the five trees of paradise, which has brilliant scarlet flowers. She is said to be identical with the dakini Niguma and the yogini by the name of Adorned with Human Bone Ornaments. In The Precious Garland of Lapis Lazuli (p. 352), Jamgőn Kongtrűl says: Born as the daughter of Arshadhara, the king of Sahor, and Queen Mohauki, accompanied by miraculous signs (and because of her great beauty), many kings from India and China vied to take her as their bride. Nevertheless, she had unshakable renunciation and entered the gate of the Dharma. Padmasambhava perceived that she was to be his disciple and accepted her as his spiritual consort. But the king, fearing that his bloodline would be contaminated, had the master burned alive. When Padmasambhava showed the miracle of transforming the mass of fire into a lake, the king gained faith and without hesitation offered his entire kingdom and the princess. When the king requested teachings, Padmasambhava showered upon twenty-one disciples the great rain of the Dharma by transmitting the tantras, scriptures, and oral instructions of Kadii Chŏ'kyi Gyamtso, the Dharma Ocean Embodying All Teachings. Thus the master established the king and his ministers on the vidyadhara levels. Guru Rinpoche accepted her as his consort and in Maratika, the Cave of Bringing Death to an End, both master and consort displayed the manner of achieving the unified vajra body on the vidyadhara level of life mastery. Mandarava remained in India and brought tremendous benefit to beings both direcdy and indirectly. In Tibet, she appeared miraculously at the great Dharma Wheel of Tramdruk, where she exchanged symbolic praises and replies with Guru Rinpoche. The details of that are recorded extensively in the Padma Kathang. A separate life story of Mandarava is found in the collected writings of Orgyen Lingpa. Mandarava was a wisdom dakini among whose different names and manifestations are counted the yogini Adorned with Human Bone Ornaments (Mirűkyi Gyenchen) at the time of Lord Marpa, Risűlkyi Naljorma at the time of Nyen Lotsawa, and Drubpey Gyalmo at the time of Rechungpa. Mandarava is also accepted as being Chushingi Nyemachen, the consort of Maitripa, as well as the dakini Niguma. Her compassionate emanations and her blessings are beyond any doubt and, since she attained the indestructible rainbow body, she is surely present (in the world) right now.s surely present (in the world) right now.)

However, this is not so easy as the degenerate, latter-day Bengali sahaja-yogi school with its concepts of 'natural enlightenment' and 'no practice' would believe; such notions make mockery of the siddha's sadhanas."
