Rāmatattva (रामतत्त्व) is the Pūjā-name of Jhiṇṭhīśa: one of the Nine Nāthas according to 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.—Dehila is the name at birth (i.e., the original names of the Siddhas) of Jhiṇṭhīśa. His Pūjā-name is Rāmatattva [Alternatively, according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka his Pūjā-name is Rāmānanda]. This Pūjā name is the one by which the Siddhas are worshipped.
