c7.37
In Almora there are householders of the Dharamnāth and Satnāth sub-sects. No rules require sons of gṛhastas to become Yogīs, but this happens; and such instances were discovered by the author in Naini Tāl and Almora. In the latter case a second son became a Yogī in order to secure his father's rights and property in a temple and a house belonging to the family, the eldest son being a munshi in the Cantonment in Almora. The third son was an Āughar.
