brought Kamarupa (= Assam) Tantrism, or more accurately the new "revelation" of the<br />
Siddha and the Natha and di-melted in Nepal. Some variants let us know something<br />
more: Gorakhnath would have locked the clouds because he wanted to have a<br />
conversation with Matsyendranatha, this was plunged into me on the mountain-Kapotal<br />
accreditation purposes, but knew that Gorakhnath apia-secondary and would come to<br />
