teachings throughout the Himalayan region, Mandarava remained in India. Mandarava is said to have manifested her sambhogakaya form at the great Dharma Wheel of Tramdruk where she engaged in a dialogue of mantra and mudra with Padmasambhava. Extensive details of this are rendered in the Padma Kathang. In addition, there is evidence that alongside Padmasambhava, Mandarava practiced the Hayagriva Mechar sadhana cycle which now comprises part of the Great Play of the Quintessential Lotus and the Treasury of One Thousand Essential Instructions of Tantra on the Union of Hayagriva and Vajravarahi. Later, during a meeting between Mandarava and Yeshe Tsogyal, Mandarava taught Yeshe Tsogyal the "thirteen pith instructions on Hayagriva". Together in Nepal, at Maratika cave, Mandarava and Padmasambhava also received, practiced, and accomplished the Chime Soktik, a terma received directly from Buddha Amitayus. This may or may not be the same terma referenced above that originated with the Dakini Sangwa. Through practice and diligence, Mandarava realised a degree of spiritual mastery equal to that of Padmasambhava, evidenced in her honorific name Machig Drupa Gyalmo (ma gcig grub pa'i rgyal mo), "Singular Queen Mother of Attainment".

Additional Tibetan language sources Jamgon Kongtrul relates the story of Mandarava within In The Precious Garland of Lapis Lazuli. Another story of Mandarava is found in the 14th century Padma Thang Yig Sheldrang Ma terma of Orgyen Lingpa. Samten Lingpa (also known as Tagsham Nu Den Dorje), a terton from the second half of the 17th century, consecrated six folios to Mandarava and Padmasambhava and their meditation practices in Maratika Cave. Additional English language sources A summary of Mandarava's life, based on The Lives and Liberation of Princess Mandarava, can be found on The Treasury of Lives website.

Emanations and reincarnations As Mandarava attained the vajra rainbow body (jalus), she is held to be present in the world now spreading and inspiring the Dharma through various incarnations in both the east and the west. The dakini Niguma is considered to be an incarnation of Mandarava. The female tertön Jetsunma Do Dasel Wangmo Rinpoche (1928-2019) of Kham, Tibet, is understood as an emanation of Mandarava.
