Variation in lists of the nine masters

The issue of variant listings of the nine founders of the Nātha Sampradāya is the subject of detailed review in David Gordon White, The Alchemical Body: Siddha Traditions in Medieval India, The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1996, pp.90-101, where a table showing regional variations in lists appears on p. 93. An entire article on the nine could easily be written based on that WP:RS. The list of nine that is in Navnath today does not correspond to any of the lists in White as far as I can easily check. Most WP:RS generally give just one or another specific list and do not address the problem of variants. For example, the book "Tantrābhidhāna: A Tantric Lexicon" by N. N. Bhattacharyya, Manohar Publishers and Distributors, New Delhi, 2002, p. 107, under the entry for "Nātha-Siddha" (meaning an adept Nātha yogī) lists the first members of the Nātha lineage as 1. Matsyendra or Mīnanātha, 2. Gorakṣanātha, 3. Jālandharī or Hāḍi-pā, 4. Kṛṣṇapāda or Kānha, 5. queen Mayanāmatī, 5. Cauraṅgīnāthata, etc. Buddhipriya (talk) 21:35, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
