峾첹ṇṭś (रामकण्ठशिव) refers to one of the eighteen teachers of Āgama digests (paddhati) according to a theory where the sacred knowledge emanated from Śiva is said to have taught by Nandin to Sanaka, Sanātana, Sanandana and Sanatkumāra. Out of the four mutts established by them on the slopes of Himalayas, other eighteen mutts are established by Āgamic seers (e.g., 峾첹ṇṭś), who authored the manuals named after their respective founders. The ś岵 digests are termed as paddhati: manuals compiled by the teachers who have condensed the subject matter from the śǰ첹-based Mūlāgamasand and presented them in the form of prayoga.
