By the slitting of the ears the Āughar becomes a Yogī, and may add to his name the word Nātha, Lord. Often he takes a new name to which he adds the word, Nātha.² He may receive as a name that of a plant or animal; e.g. Nimnātha Kanahnātha, Nāgnātha.³ Kaṇṭhaḍnāthīs use the word Kaṇṭhaḍ, instead of Nātha.⁴
