²³⁴⁷ Y. S. mentions Nābhicakra, which means no more than the navel that is circular in shape, and Kūrmanāḍī in III 29 and III. 31 respectively Vide Gorakṣaśataka verses 10-23, 54-67 for the chakras, nāḍīs, brahmadvāra &c and H. Y. P. III for the awakening of Kuṇḍalinī The Gorakṣaśataka is set out (transliterated text and translation) in W. G. Briggs' work 'Gorakhnath and the Kanphātas' pp. 284-304 and was recently edited and published by Swami Kuvalayanand with translation and notes (1959) Dr. Hazariprasad Dwivedi has written a work called 'Nath Sampradaya' (1950) and Dr Mohansingh also has a work on 'Gorakhnath and medieval Hindu mysticism'. If we take the Guruparamparā set out in the Jñāneśvarī, Gorakhnath should be taken to have flourished about 1100 A D. or a little later Vide 'the life of Gorakṣanāth and the succession of disciples' (in Marathi) by Mr. R. C. Dhere (1959). pp. 224.
