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.鈥擠ehila is the name at birth (i.e., the original names of the Siddhas) of 惭腻迟补峁単补. His [other] famed names are: Gajaprabodha, Kuntaprastambha, Vyom膩nanda. A N膩tha may have more than one such 鈥榝amed name鈥� (办墨谤迟颈苍腻尘补), according to the number of extraordinary events especially associated with him.
The Kubjik膩nity膩hnikatilaka describes the extraordinary events that inspired his 鈥渇amed names鈥�: Dehila was called Gajaprabodha-膧nandadeva (膧nandadeva who was the Awakening of the Elephant) because he transferred his consciousness (腻迟尘补蝉补峁僰谤腻尘补峁嘺) into an elephant that died seven days before and revived it. He was called Kuntaprastambhadeva because he checked the course of the spear of passion in the form of a woman (kunt膩 v膩m膩). He was called Vyom膩nandan膩tha because he saw the moon in the sky, presumably during the day.
