Regarding Post 182.
I had heard one more detail about the Natha yogi offering curd, the boy refusing, curd falling, Yogi's prophecy about the boy. Per what I had heard, he even said that the boy would found an 11-generation dynasty. Not sure the source of the lore, but present king is the 11th.
Also, there is a devI temple, called Devi Patan, in a small town of Tulsipur in Balrampur District on Indo-Nepal border. King was blessed here by devI, and as per the custom, the Shah king sends the first mahaprasAd (always Khichdi) in every Navaratri mahotsavam.
