'''Yeshe Tsogyal''' (Tib. [[ཡེ་ཤེས་མཚོ་རྒྱལ་]], [[Wyl.]] ''ye shes mtsho rgyal'') — the principal consort of [[Guru Padmasambhava]]. She was [[Vajravarahi]] in human form and also an emanation of [[Tara]] and [[Buddhalochana]]. 

==Biography==
She was born as a princess in the clan of [[Kharchen]]. According to some accounts her father was called Namkha Yeshe and her mother was Gewa Bum.<ref>See for example Tulku Thondup (1996) page 93</ref> In other histories, such as the [[Zanglingma]] and the biography revealed by [[Taksham Nüden Dorje]], her father is named as [[Kharchen Palgyi Wangchuk]], who is otherwise said to have been her brother. Yet another version names her father as Tökar Lek and her mother as Gyalmo Tso.

She became the consort of [[King Trisong Detsen]] before being offered to [[Guru Rinpoche]] as a [[mandala offering]] during an [[empowerment]]. She specialized in the practice of [[Vajrakilaya]] and experienced visions of the deity and gained accomplishment. In Nepal, she paid a ransom for Acharya Salé and took him as her [[spiritual consort]]. Through the power of her unfailing memory, she collected all the teachings given by Guru Rinpoche in Tibet and concealed them as [[terma]]. At the end of her life, it is said, she flew through the air and went directly to [[Zangdokpalri]].
