Devanātha (देवनाथ) (or simply Deva) refers to one of the Nine Nāthas according to sources such as the Kulakaulinīmata and Kumārikākhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra.—This group of nine Nātha Siddhas related to Gorakhanātha are venerated by his followers as nine founder figures. According to the Kulakaulinīmata, Mitranātha made nine disciples in Candrapura in Koṅkaṇa. These are called the Current of Men that Mitrīśa, the First Teacher of this Age, generated as his spiritual sons. These Nine Nāthas [e.g., Devanātha] originally resided in his body as his vital breaths from which they emerged and were born as men in nine places.—Devanātha is associated with the following: Breath: Vyāna; Gods of the Directions: Nairṛti; Planet: Mars; Snake (Nāga): Śaṃkhapāla; Other names: Vidhu. According to the Kumārikākhaṇḍa and Siddhakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, Deva is also known as Devavaktrāmṛta and Bhairava.
