'''Maratika cave''' (Skt. ''Māratika''; Tib. [[མ་ར་ཏི་ཀ་]], འཆི་བ་མཐར་བྱེད་, [[Wyl.]] '' 'chi ba mthar byed'') — the cave where [[Guru Rinpoche]] attained the level of a [[vidyadhara with power over life]] through his practice with the consort [[Mandarava]]. It is thought to be the cave of Haileshi in Sagarmatha, Nepal.

As it says in ''[[A Great Treasure of Blessings]]'':
:Returning to [[Zahor]], Padmasambhava took the royal princess [[Mandarava]] as his consort, and they then went to the Maratika cave, where for three months they practised the [[sadhana]] of [[long-life practice|longevity]]. The Buddha of Limitless Life, [[Amitayus]] appeared, empowered them with longevity, and blessed them as inseparable from him. They both accomplished the second [[vidyadhara]] level, ‘vidyadhara with mastery over life’.
