Knup and more. It is seems as the established
historical fact that he was the chief disciple of the
Natha Siddha Jalandhar Nath, and live at the same
period of time with the Guru Goraksh Nath, whom he
have met few times. He appeared as the remarkable
and powerful yogi in the Indian aiva tradition of the
Ntha yogis and in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of
the Vajrayana Mhasiddhas. The both traditions agree
that he was prominent Siddha yogi and at the same
time pai ta (highly learned man), and had lot of
disciples.
Legends: There exist three principal legends about him
considerably different from each other, one which was
circulating as oral tradition amongst the Ntha Yogis
and in the form of folklore tales, and second was
presented in the book Caturati-siddha-pravitti
crya/K
In the natha version of his story he is shown as being
crya/K
mentioned. In the book The Seven Instruction
Lineages author says that popular belive existed at his
time among Tibetans was that K
was born in
cri
the country called Kara, while in accordance with the
oral tradition existed amonst Natha Yogis at that time,
he was born in the city Pdyanagar, which also was
called Vidynagar (Vijayanagar). Furthermore, as
Vidynagar is quite close to Kara, the early Tibetan
accounts appear to be quite similar to the Indian oral
accounts. In accordance with old traditions of Indians
he was of the Brhmana caste, and old Tibetan
tradition says that he was of rya (noble) family. In
one of verses of K
he has conformed this fact

himself:
Wrestling and striving forward-going is the son of the
Brhmana.
Tara Natha says that there was even existing prophesy

accordance with it, he would be born in country
Uruvica (Uruvia), which is in accordance with
Taranthas guru Buddhagupta Ntha, the same with
Odivica, the country which close to Bengal (modern
Urissa). Prophesy further saying that there was not
yogi equal to him in Jambu-dvpa (the Indian sub
continent) before, not it will happen in future. It says
that he would have six disciples, which would trancend
the existence of their bodies and attain
Mahmudrsiddhi. Few letters of his name were also
predicted by that prophesy. Names of those six
disciples it is said were Bhadrapda, Mahila, Bhadala,
the novice Tshem.bu.pa, Dhamapa and Dhumapa.
Some say that Bhadala, Bhadra or Bhadrapda were
identical. Instead of them they add Eyal or yogin
Mekhal and Kamakhal or Bande. In his other book
Five historical Works of Trantha, the author gives
more detailed biography of Knhap. It is said that his
birth place to be in Eastern India, in the Kinghdom of
Gaura in an area called Oruvia, near Bengal.

names by which he was recognized. He was born at
Somapuri, and was from the caste of clerks. His Guru
was Jalandharipa.
(In the beginning) he was a monk at built by raja
Devapala Somapuri Vihara (monastery). But later the
Guru Jalandharipa has initiated him into the Hevajra
mandala sadhana, and ordered him to practice in
accordance with his instructions. After twelve years
have passed in practice, one day after trembling
(earth) he has got site of (complete) Hevajra Devamandala, and after becoming greatly exited duty this,
entered into the state of absolute satisfaction. At the
same moment, Dakini appeared there and told him: O
son of Kula! This is not as great achievement (as you
imagine). Dont become overconfident duty this,
because this is not realization of Supreme State
(Param Pada).
One day when he stepped on a big block made of
stone, his foot entered into it (as if it was made from
wet mod). (Again) he felt great proud, and thought
that now he has achieved all possible kinds of magical
powers, but (in this very moment) the Dakini appeared
and cooled him down (by saying that this also not a big
achievement). When he came outside, he noticed that
he was moving in air without touching earth by his
feet, about ten centimeters above. Once more, he felt
proud, but again was rebuked by the Dakini.
(He continued his practices, and after some time he
reached such state) that wherever he moved, he was
all.
On this the life story of the Guru Kaha-p is finished.
