Niguma is the second Jewel among the Seven Shangpa Jewels. Established in a realization which goes beyond the usual temporal benchmarks, it remains accessible to those endowed with a pure spirit and it appeared to masters who lived in the 11th and 12th centuries and then to others, throughout history (Bodong Cholé Namgyel, Thangtong Gyelpo, Künga Drölchok). Mochokpa used to say that she was Naropa's sister but opinions differ and most masters consider that she was his companion. 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).
