Śakkarnāth had no disciples, so, on his deathbed, he called a Musalmān, Jāfir by name, made him his disciple, and advised him to take only uncircumcised Muslims into his following. These Yogīs are employed as Hindu cooks, and belong to the Santnāth sect.¹ The order today recognizes only Musalmāns and they do not eat with other Yogīs.
