Mandarava was the wife of Padmasambhava, founder of the Nyingmapa order of Tibetan Buddhism. According to legend, as discussed by Rinpoche Tulku Thondup in Buddhist Civilization in Tibet, 1987, page 32, Padmasambhava enraged the king of Sahora by preaching Buddhism to his daughter. He was ordered to be burnt alive in a valley filled with wood and oil. However, his miraculous powers saved him by turning the oil into a lake as he emerged accompanied by dancing dakinis on a lotus stalk. The king, overwhelmed by the display, converted to Buddhism and gave his daughter to Padmasambhava in marriage. The present figure was most likely once part of a triad with Padmasambhava at the center, Mandarava sitting to his proper right, and Yeshe Tsogyal, his Tibetan partner, to his left.

Literature comparison: Compare a bronze Padmasambhava triad, dated to the 16th century, with a related figure of Mandarava, in the Museum der Kulturen Basel, accession number W.lld140009.R0090 (Himalayan Art Resources item no. 3314009).

Auction result comparison: Compare a related gilt bronze figure of a seated Mandarava, 12.6 cm high, dated to the 16th century, at Christie’s New York in Indian and Southeast Asian Art on 22 March 2011, lot 293, sold for USD 37,500.
