Kailāsa Paramparā
कैलासपरंपरा
Himalayan Lineage
Seek the Nāthas who Nandinatha’s grace received. First the ṛishis four, Sivayoga the holy next, then Patanjali, who in Sabhā’s holy precincts worshiped. Vyaghra and I complete the number eight. Through instruction imparting, Malangan, Indiran, Soman and Brahman, Rudran, Kalangi and Kanchamalayam come as my disciples in succession.§
