Bodhi-ji that is why I used "in this yuga". This is because technically AdinAtha who is said to be mahAdeva himself is believed to belong to a primordial yuga. As per some tantric traditions of the paschimAnAya the tantras and yogashAstra was thrown into the sea by skanda. There they were swallowed by a fish and AdinAtha himself emerged from the belly of the fish as matsyendra recovering them. Of course discussion of these traditions goes beyond this thread. If there is any interest we could move it to another thread.

Hauma Hamiddha Ji, if I am allowed to bring this up again. I was hearing this beautiful pada attributed to Sri Guru Gorakshanath, that I was reminded of what you had said. The last line in this goes like this: "Adi Adinath Machhender ka poota; ye jas gaa mera Gorakh avdhoota" (Gorakh, the son of Machhendar, who is original Adinath himself, says Avadhoot sing this glory).
Sharing the song, if you or others were interested. Wonderfully sung several decades back, by Pandit Kumar Gandharva, in classical Nirguni style: Amar Meri Kaya.
