1) վṣṇś (विष्णुशर्म�) is the birth-name of Ҳḍīśa𱹲: 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.—վṣṇś� is the name at birth (i.e., the original names of the Siddhas) of Ҳḍīśa𱹲. Alternatively, according to the Kulakaulinīmata, his birth-name is Mātaṅgadeva and his father is Kāñcideva.

Note: վṣṇś was called Indrānandadeva because he graced Indra. He was called Matsyendranātha because he was dragged up in the Markaṭa river.

2) վṣṇś (विष्णुशर्म�) is also mentioned as the birth-name [or father] of Gulmadeva—one of the Sixteen Siddhas according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka.—These sixteen spiritual teachers represent the disciples of the Nine Nāthas who propagated the Western Transmission noted in the Kubjikā Tantras.—Gulmadeva is the Caryā name of this Nātha (i.e., the public name the Siddha uses when living as a wandering renouncer). His birth-name is վṣṇś (alternatively, his birth-name is Mādhava and his father is վṣṇś according to the Kulakaulinīmata);

Note: վṣṇś was called Mālādharadeva because he miraculously hung a garland of flowers () in the sky.
