More interestingly, the term sangyum, for which a word-for-word translation would be secret mother, secret consort, or secret lady, of, let's say, a high lama, in no way means that the couple are having a secret affair. Referring to the woman concerned as a sangyum is a respectable and respectful, almost a honorific way of referring to her as a consort, or you might say wife.
