Sinpoi Tsomo Jigje Mar (English: Mistress of Daemons, Red Terrifying One): one of eight attendant figures in the retinue of Mahakala Gonpo Shanglon belonging to the 'Revealed Treasure' Tradition (terma) of the Yutog Nyingtig discovered by Yutog Yontan Gonpo. (See the Shanglon Main Page, Outline Page, Yutog Nyingtig Main Page, and Yutog Nyingtig Outline Page).

Maroon in colour, frightful in appearance, she has three round bloodshot eyes and canine teeth that extend beyond the face. Dark yellow matted hair surrounds a single white skull tiara and a blue wolf head adorns the crown. the lower two canine teeth extend upwards above the crown of the head. The upper two canine teeth extend downwards and press against the right and left nipples on the breasts.

Adorned with gold earrings and bone ornaments, a grey human skin is draped across the shoulders and covers the back. The right hand extended upward holds a sword and the left a trident. Seated atop a nine-headed zombie she is surrounded by orange and red flames. (See three different Initiation Card Sets for depictions of all nine protector figures).

At the top center is Sikyong (protector of the world) Sanggye Gyatso. The extended right hand holds a medicinal plant and the left, in the lap, holds a gold Dharma wheel held respectfully with a white scarf. Also from the left hand, rising on a stem held between the fingers is a pink lotus blossom supporting the Prajnaparamita book and wisdom sword. (See the Mistress of Dakinis, Red Wolf Tongue, from the same set of paintings).
