1) ٱ𱹲ٰ峾ṛt (देववक्त्रामृ�) is the Pūjā-name of ʳṣpԲԻ岹: one of the Nine Nāthas according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā.—The Nine Nāthas propagated the Western Transmission noted in the Kubjikā Tantras. Although each Siddha has a consort with which he shares some part of his spiritual discipline, she is not considered to be his wife. Thus, from the perspective of his identity as an initiate, he is not a householder.—Govinda is the name at birth (i.e., the original names of the Siddhas) of ʳṣpԲԻ岹. His Pūjā-name is ٱ𱹲ٰ峾ṛt [Alternatively, according to the Kulakaulinīmata his Pūjā-name is Devānanda and according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka it is Bāladeva]. This Pūjā name is the one by which the Siddhas are worshipped.

2) ٱ𱹲ٰ峾ṛt (देववक्त्रामृ�) is another name for Deva (or ٱ𱹲ٳ)—one of the Nine Nāthas according to sources such as the Kumārikākhaṇḍa and Siddhakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—This group of nine Nātha Siddhas related to Gorakhanātha are venerated by his followers as nine founder figures. [...] Deva-nātha is associated with the birth-place called Pauṇḍra and is also known as ٱ𱹲ٰ峾ṛt and Bhairava [the name found in a series of mantras addressed to the nine ٳ󲹲].
