Kalasiddhi

Also known as Belwong Kalasiddhi, the story of this woman is similar to that of Shakya Devi, both of whom were abandoned when their mothers died in childbirth.

In Kalasiddhi's case, she was discovered in a charnel ground by Mandarava, who found the infant sucking at her dead mother's breasts. Mandarava then nurtured her, thus saving her life, and apparently brought her up (the biography leaves out many years) until she was ripe to meet Padmasambhava and become one of the so-called Five Consorts.
