Named are the glorious Ādinātha, Matsyendra, Śābara, Ānanda, and Bhairava (śrī-ādinātha-matsyendra-śābara-ānanda-bhairavāḥ | nom pl), as well as Cauraṅgī, Mīna, Gorakṣa, Virūpākṣa, and Bileśaya (cauraṅgī-mīna-gorakṣa-virūpākṣa-bileśayāḥ | nom pl).
The lineage begins with the great Siddhas: Ādinātha, Matsyendra, Śābara, Ānanda, Bhairava, Cauraṅgī, Mīna, Gorakṣa, Virūpākṣa, and Bileśaya.
In connection with the list of Siddhas, Brahmānanda recounts two traditional legends:
- Matsyendra was originally a fish who listened motionlessly and with full concentration while Śiva secretly instructed Pārvatī in yoga. Śiva noticed this, compassionately sprinkled him with water, and transformed him into a Siddha with a divine body.
- Cauraṅgī, who lacked hands and feet, received new limbs through Matsyendra's gracious gaze and afterward became his disciple.
The stories present the list of names as a Siddha lineage transmitted through instruction and grace.
Sri Âdinâtha (Śiva), Matsyendra, Nâtha, Sâbar, Anand, Bhairava, Chaurangi, Mîna nâtha, Gorakṣanâtha, Virupâkṣa, Bileśaya.

Haṭha Pradīpikā 1.10
संसारतापतप्तानां समाश्रयमठो हठः |
अशेषयोगजगतामाधारकमठो हठः ||10||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh
Haṭha (haṭhaḥ | nom sg) is a hut of complete refuge (sama-aśraya-maṭhaḥ | nom sg) for those scorched by the torment of saṃsāra (saṃsāra-tāpa-taptānām | gen pl ppp); Haṭha (haṭhaḥ | nom sg) is the supporting tortoise (ādhāra-kamaṭhaḥ | nom sg) for the worlds of all yogas (aśeṣa-yoga-jagatām | gen pl).
Haṭha is a refuge for people scorched by the sufferings of life. At the same time, it is the supporting foundation of every path of yoga.
Brahmānanda divides the “torments” into three classical groups. Ādhyātmika includes bodily suffering such as illness and mental suffering such as desire. Ādhibhautika arises from other living beings, such as predators or snakes. Ādhidaivika is attributed to higher powers, such as planetary influences. Haṭha is presented as a refuge from all three.
saṃsāratāpataptānāṃ MBHDL2026 ] aśeṣatāpataptānāṃ NS1882
Like a house protecting one from the heat of the sun, Haṭha Yoga protects its practiser from the burning heat of the three Tâpas; and, similarly, it is the supporting tortoise, as it were, for those who are constantly devoted to the practice of Yoga.
The Hathayoga is a monastery for those scorched by the three Tápas (pains). To all those engaged in the practice of Yoga, Hathayoga is like the tortoise that supports the world.
Hathayoga ist die allgemeine Zufluchtzelle derer, die von der Gesammtzahl der Schmerzen gepeinigt werden; wie die Schildkröte (dem Weltall), so dient der Hathayoga denjenigen als Grundlage, die sich in den gesammten Yoga vertieft haben.
