He is also known as Pi峁単alan膩tha. The consort of 惭墨苍补苍腻迟丑补 was Ku峁僰um膩 (or, Ku峁卥um膩) and from her were born twelve princes. Siddhan膩tha incarnates as a Kaula master in each of the four yugas.
The twelve princes born from Ku峁僰um膩 are:
- Bhadra,

- Mahendra,
- Khagendra,
- 惭补丑墨诲丑补谤补
- 骋耻峁囜笉颈办补苍腻迟丑补,

- 翱濒颈苍腻迟丑补,
