Mandarava
Mandarava is, along with Yeshe Tsogyal, one of the two principal consorts of Padmasambhava and is considered a female guru-deity in Buddhism. Mandarava, born a princess in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, India in the 8th Century CE, renounced her royal birthright in order to practice the Dharma, and became a fully realized spiritual adept and great teacher.
==Origins and spiritual calling==
Mandarava (Tib. ''man da ra ba''), whose full name is Mandarava Flower (Tib. ''man da ra ba me tog'') referring to ''Erythrina Indica'', the coral tree, one of the five fabled trees that grow in paradise (or Sukhavati) and has brilliant scarlet flowers, was a princess of Zahor or Mandi.〔Kunsang (1994), p. 169.〕) in the 8th Century CE.
Mandarava was also known as the White Princess (Tib. ''lha lcam dkar mo'') though the blooms of the coral tree are a brilliant scarlet. Mandarava is also the name of one of the Gandharvis, therefore, the name may also be considered that of an Indian devi.
Mandarava was born of Vihardhara, King of Zahor and Queen Mohauki.〔Kunsang (1994), p. 169.〕 Her birth was said to be accompanied by miraculous signs and her renunciation and spiritual inclination was marked from a young age. Due to her fabled beauty, many kings from India and China were said to number amongst her marriage suitors. Mandarava wishing to pursue her spiritual calling endeavored to release herself from regal trappings wherein she was intercepted by her father and incarcerated. There is a venerated petrosomatoglyph of Mandarava's footprints located near the dungeon where she was restrained.
