Dombipa (1450-1497)
In the country of Magadha, there was a man of royal birth who had attained siddhi from Hevajra. He had been initiated by the guru Virupa, and having been granted the instructions, he experienced their meaning. Though he regarded his subjects as a father thinks of his only son, the people did not know that their king had entered the door of the Dharma. But he was kindly by nature, so all the people unanimously affirmed: "This king is indeed a pious man."
One day the king said to his minister: "The people are suffering in our country. Thieves and robbers are destroying property, and because of the people's little merit, there are increasing numbers of poor and indignant. To deliver the land from fear and poverty hang a great bell on the trunk of a tree. If anyone witnesses a crime or sees poverty let him strike this bell." The minister did as he was told and fear and poverty were bought to an end in Magadha.
A while later a group of low caste singers came to the capital offering to sing and dance for the king. One of the singers had a 12 year old daughter who was very attractive. She had a lovely face and a good complexion; furthermore she was unsullied by worldly thoughts and had all the qualities of a padmini. So the King said to the low caste singer, "Would you give your daughter to me?"
To this the singer replied, "Your majesty is a king of Magadha, you rule 800,000 cities. Because of your royal wealth you do not have to work for a living. We are of low caste, denigrated and shunned by other classes of people. It is not fitting for you to make such a request."
The King made his request again, but in a more forceful way; he took the girl after giving her father a sum equal to her value form the treasury. For 12 years the people did not know that she was the King's tantric consort, but eventually it was discovered. Soon it became known to everyone throughout Magadha, the king consorts with a low-caste woman.
So the king abdicated in favour of his son and with his low-caste consort went into the forest. There he practiced for 12 years.
