Bhogapura (भोगपुर) is defined as the birth-place of Pippalin—one of the Nine Nāthas according to verse 43.177ff of the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—The Nine Nāthas (found in various Kubjikā Tantras) generally represent a well-known group of Siddhas. According to the Kulakaulinīmata, these Nine Nāthas originally resided in Ādinātha’s body as his vital breaths from which they emerged and were born as men in nine places. The birth place of Pippalin is known by the name Bhogapura.

Note: Bhogapura is called Bhogavardhana in the Kulakaulinīmata.
