Udayarāja (उदयराज) is the birth-name of Pippilīśadeva: 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.—Udayarāja is the name at birth (i.e., the original names of the Siddhas) of Pippilīśadeva. Alternatively, according to the Kulakaulinīmata, his birth-name is Viśvarūpaka and his father is Vāsudeva.

The Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka describes the extraordinary events that inspired his “famed names”: Udayarāja was called Laṅkānandanātha because he graced Vibhīṣaṇa, Rāvaṇa's brother in Śrīlaṅka.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
