Notes

A contemporary of Khyungpo Neljor, Marpa Lotsawa is at the origin of the Marpa Kagyü lineage.

Lineage: Niguma > Marpa: "Naropa said, - On the shores of the poison lake in the South, in the charnel ground of Sosadvipa is Jnanadakini Adorned with Bone Ornaments. Whoever encounters her is liberated. Go before her and request the Catuhpitha. You can also request of the kusulus there whatever teachings you desire. - Having arrived in the charnel ground at Sosadvipa, Marpa meet this yogini, who was living in a woven grass dome. Offering her a mandala of gold, he supplicated her. She joyfully gave him the full abhiseka and oral instructions of the Catuhpitha" (The Life of Marpa the Translator, Shambhala 1999, p.32-33 ).
