Remarks :
The names dating and 1119 indicate close association with those musical instruments. <416, TSFRYTE, BETYG, 0701916, 0167916, 7742414, CM14G indicate characteristic association with those objects, things, etc. af&MYT indicates a characteristic habit. जालंधरिपाद, डेंगिपाद, डोंगीपाद, तेल्लोपाद, हालिपाद indicate low caste professions. stara, yang indicate the caste. HEYTG (FR247976) is a flattering name like heca, quia etc. 601916, H YG, 4G are obviously pejorative assumed names.
Of these the names of the first and second category were possibly given by the devotees and followers. The third and fourth categories are interesting in this sense that they suggest that the Siddhas were closely associated with the lower castes and tribals. Samkrityayan, Majumdar and others have made observations about the changed social mileu and the intimacy of the Siddhas with the lower stratum of the society.
Names of the fifth category can be explained as either the childhood bye-names or more probably to show that they considered their worldly selves as of little value.
