While Jālandharipā was confined in the well at Ujjāin,² from which he was finally rescued through the help of Gorakhnāth and Matsyendranāth, his disciple, Kānipā occupied his teacher's place as mahant. He afterwards founded a panth. From this line came Gopicand (Candra) otherwise known as Siddh Saṅgarī, who became one of the eighty-four Siddhas. Gopicand is sometimes given as the name of a panth; and Gopicand is considered also as a disciple both of Kānipā and of Jālandharipā.
