Notes

For a complete study of Niguma, see the book Niguma, Lady of illusion by Sarah Harding.

Niguma is the second Jewel among the Seven Shangpa Jewels (notice that the first Jewel of the Shangpa is Vajradhara, the first and eternal Buddha from whom Niguma received teachings directly).
Established in a realization which goes beyond the usual temporal benchmarks, she remains accessible to those endowed with a pure mind and appeared to masters who lived in the 11th and 12th c. and then to others throughout history. Among them is Bodong Cholé Namgyel, Thangtong Gyelpo and Künga Drölchok.
"Blessed by Vajradhara himself, named Niguma or rnal 'byor ma rus pa'i rgyan cha can (Yogini Adorned with Bone Ornaments), she remained at the charnel ground of so sa gling and left for a pure domain without leaving her body. Mochokpa used to say she was Naropa's sister but opinions differ and most masters consider that she was his consort. She is also named grub pa'i rgyal mo, the Queen of the Accomplished" (chos 'byung bstan pa'i pad+ma rgyas pa'i nyin byed p.207).

According to the biography of Khyungpo Neljor, they met in the forest of the charnel ground of Sosadvīpa (dur khrod chen po so sa gling gi nags gseb) during the second trip of Khyungpo Neljor to India (they also met during the third trip). Niguma transmitted him: sgyu lus rmi lam gyi dbang bskur / chos drug gi khrid / rdo rje'i tshig rkang (vajrapāda), sgyu ma lam rim / rgyud sde lnga'i dbang + sgrub thabs + gdams pa / (hevajra) dgyes rdor sprul pa'i lha dgu (dbang bskur), (hevajra) mtshon cha can lha bcu gsum (dbang bskur) / (hevajra) brtag gnyis (Toh 417, Toh 418) + gur / (hevajra) sam+bu Ti (sampuṭodbhavaḥ, Toh 381, previously transmitted by Dakini Kanakashrila) + sgrub thabs, (hevajra) mtshon cha can gyi bskyed rim rgyas ('bring) bsdus gsum, (hevajra?) de kho na nyid bzhi'i gdams ngag / bde mchog drug cu rtsa gnyis, (bde mchog) bcu gsum, (bde mchog) lha lnga'i dkyil 'khor (dbang bskur, rgyud, sgrub thabs) / (hevajra) mtshon cha can dang dus 'khor gyi gdams ngag, (hevajra?) de kho na nyid bzhi'i zhal gdams / mkha' spyod dkar dmar, rgyud sde bzhi'i sgrib sel (Kriya, Charya, Yoga, Anuttara Yoga tantra), bde mchog rigs lnga'i rdzogs rim, thig le'i rdzogs rim.
