岹ԲԻ岹 (उदयानन्द) is another name of 󲹾īś: one of the Nine Nāthas according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka: a derative text drawing from Tantras and other sources such as 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.—Trivikrama is the name at birth (i.e., the original names of the Siddhas) of 󲹾īś. His [other] famed names are: Vyomānanda, 岹ԲԻ岹 and Kiraṇānanda. A Nātha may have more than one such ‘famed name� (īپ峾), according to the number of extraordinary events especially associated with him.

The Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka describes the extraordinary events that inspired his “famed names�: Trivikrama was called Vyomānandanātha because when he was in the city of Kanyākubja he stopped the movement of the sun and fixed it in the sky for twelve days. He was called 岹ԲԻ岹 because he illuminated (udyotita) Kaula, that is, the union of Śiva and Śakti. He was called Kiraṇānandanātha because on another occasion he concealed the rays of the sun.

Note: 岹ԲԻ岹 (उदयानन्द) is mentioned as the secret name of 󲹾īś, according to the Kulakaulinīmata. This secret name is the one by which he is known only to fellow initiates, his teachers and disciples. It is never revealed to anybody outside the circle of initiates
