Jaladhari Pa is the name of a Buddhist Siddhacarya corresponding with Jalandhar or Jalandharnath (according to the Natha philosophy) and with Jalandhara teacher (according to Sabaratantra).—The interesting overlap between, Buddhist Siddhacaryas teachers of Kapalika sect and Nathas of Natha Sampradyay points at certain similarities between these highly esoteric cults. The fact that the same Siddha [e.g., Jaladhari] is considered as a Natha and also as a Kapalika teacher talks of a common spiritual tradition followed by these great masters irrespective of the religion they followed or the religion with which they got associated. It throws light on the mutually exclusive nature of spiritual lineages and religion in India.
