Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKṛṣṇānanda (कृष्णानन्द) (or Kṛṣṇānandanātha) refers to one of the Nine Nāthas according to sources such as the Kulakaulinīmata and Kumārikākhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra.—This group of nine Nātha Siddhas related to Gorakhanātha are venerated by his followers as nine founder figures. According to the Kulakaulinīmata, Mitranātha made nine disciples in Candrapura in Koṅkaṇa. These are called the Current of Men that Mitrīśa, the First Teacher of this Age, generated as his spiritual sons. These Nine Nāthas [e.g., Kṛṣṇānanda-nātha] originally resided in his body as his vital breaths from which they emerged and were born as men in nine places.—Kṛṣṇānanda-nātha is associated with the following: Breath: Dhanañjaya; Gods of the Directions: Viṣṇu; Planet: Oḍḍīśa; Snake (Nāga): Ṣaṣṭhinātha; Other names: Jvāleśa. According to the Kumārikākhaṇḍa and Siddhakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, Kṛṣṇānanda is also known as Mārtāṇḍanātha (Kṛṣṇamārtāṇḍa) and Kṛṣṇa.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
