۲ṣānԻ岹ٳ (यक्षानन्दनाथ) (or simply Yakṣānanda) is another name of ʳṣpԲԻ岹: 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.—Govinda is the name at birth (i.e., the original names of the Siddhas) of ʳṣpԲԻ岹. His [other] famed names are: Śobhanānanda and ۲ṣānԻ岹ٳ. A Nātha may have more than one such ‘famed name� (īپ峾), according to the number of extraordinary events especially associated with him.

The Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka describes the extraordinary events that inspired his “famed names�: Govinda taught the beauty (śobha) people possessed and so was called Śobhanānandadeva. He was called ۲ṣānԻ岹ٳ because he graced the Lord of Yakṣa (by initiating him).
