Hi, Does anyone know the name of Tröma Nagmo in Sanskrit? Thanks.

No, it is Khrodhakāli, a form of Vajrayogini originally revealed by the Mahāsiddha Virupa and brought to Tibet by Padampa Sangye.

Is Krodhakali a direct translation?

Yes.

Thanks.

Wouldn't it be Krodhikali, as both parts of the name are feminized?

Yes, actually.

Krishna Krodhini

Thanks Malcolm but what you metioned is also mentioned in the link I gave. So Himalayan Art got the Krishna Krodhini part wrong huh?

Yes, I have never seen that equivalent anywhere. There are a lot of mistakes on Himalayan Art actually.

I have been taught that long A, or aa, ending is feminine, like in Taaraa, hence Krodhaa would be feminine too.

Krodha is adjective, and it takes the gender of the noun Kali, or Kaalii. But the feminine form of krodha is krodhaa, long final A.
Thus it would be Krodhaakaalii.
Some sanskrit adjectives have feminine ending ii, some have feminine aa.
Adjectives in sanskrit do not take the ending of the noun. An example from a sanskrit course: sundarii baalaa "beautiful girl(child)".
