Nepal. We note in passing that this legend clearly a historical fact: "Matsyendranatha"<br />

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 />

Nepal to save the region of the great drought. This is perhaps an indication that<br />

ma Gorakhnath be processed on fly, a frog and even iron (Briggs, p. 187). The Dabis-tan<br />

(vol. II, p. 140) relates the combat with a samnyasi during which becomes Gorakhnath<br />
