About the name Milarepa
Milarepa began as a young man who killed with sorcery and ended as the yogi who sang the Hundred Thousand Songs from a cave in the Himalayan snow, warmed only by inner heat and a cotton robe. It is used more as a reverent reference than a common given name, though the short form Mila appears in Tibetan families.
