4. *Lakṣmannāth*. Lakṣmannāth succeeded Gorakhnāth at Ṭilla. This panth has two divisions, or schools, Natesrī and Daryā. The distinctive characteristics of these two are that the former reside on the hill at Ṭilla, while the latter live on the plains. Daryā is also considered as a separate panth having its origin at Ṭilla. The other sub-sect is known as Natesrī in Amritsar, and as Darbārī Ṭilla Bāl Gondal in Hoshiārpur. This is the Heth, or Hethnāth, panth of the original Gorakhnāthīs. To this division belong the Hāith of the Ambāla and Jhelum districts and Bāljāti of the Karnāl. Rāñjha belonged to Natesrī. The Jāfir Pīrs (see below) follow Rāñjha.
