ṇiԲԻ岹 (माणिक्यानन्द) is the secret name of īś𱹲: 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.—Vāhila is the name at birth (i.e., the original names of the Siddhas) of īś𱹲. His secret name is ṇiԲԻ岹. [Alternatively, according to the Kulakaulinīmata, his secret name is Māṇikākṣa] This secret name is the one by which he is known only to fellow initiates, his teachers and disciples. It is never revealed to anybody outside the circle of initiates
