Chamas Narayan entered it. As soon as he was born, he started crying. A man who had come to drink water on the river took him away. His wife put him to sleep next to her son with great joy. He was found on the banks of the river Reva, so he named it ‘Nagesh’. Nagesh Nath and Dattatreya met at the age of twelve. As soon as Dattatreya touched him, he got full knowledge and remembered his previous birth. That is, he remembered that he is Chamas Narayan. After that Dattatreya gave some powers (Siddhi) to Nagesh Nath. i.e. gave some magical powers. Which he used to live comfortably. He also used that achievement to feed many people. He cured many ailments. His fame spread far and wide. So people started calling him Revansiddhi. After some time, Lord Dattatreya preached the mantra in his ear and eradicated his duality. And included him in the Nath sect.

Navnath Bhaktisar Malukavi A Marathi book, Navnath Bhaktisar (Published in 1819) by Malukavi contains a life sketch of Revan Nath. In the three chapters (34th, 35th, and 36th) of this book, one can see the descriptions of this story. Chamas Narayan -one among Nav Narayanas for the sake of the welfare of the world incarnated near Revateer and grew up in the family of an ordinary farmer. One day while engaged in agricultural work he had the vision of Lord Dattatreya and by his grace, he attained ‘Mahima Siddhi’ (occult power). Miracles On the basis of which he had performed several miracles. Therefore he became famous as ‘Revansiddha’ in that region. After some time Macchindaranath paid a visit to that region. Owing to the occult power tiger, lion, and other such wild animals forgetting their enemies were found to be with Macchindaranath. On seeing this, Revan Nath was flabbergasted. Revan Nath realized that Mahimasiddhi that he had attained was not of any help. This could be accomplished only by God-realization (Brahmajnana). According to his wish, Macchindaranath took Revan Nath to Lord Dattatreya. Lord Dattatreya initiated Revan Nath into spiritual life. Revan Nath spent some time in penance under the guidance of Lord Dattatreya and Revan Nath realized God and then Revan Nath went to Mogalayi, Kanchi, Balehalli, and other places. After that, for some time he lived in Vite-Renavi (Renagiri) of Mandesh.

Mohanastra mantra As soon as Vibhuti was placed on her body as Mohanastra mantra, milk was produced in her breast. After breastfeeding the child, she called Suvasini from the village and took care of the child, and named him Gahininath. Later Macchindranath stayed there for a few days and after taking leave of the villagers he went on pilgrimage with Goraksha. On his way, Macchindranath noticed that Goraksha was still raw. Then, knowing that he should be handed over to the Badrikedwar Swami for investigation, he went on a pilgrimage to Badrikashram.
