{{Main|Nath|Mahasiddha}}
Whenever siddha is mentioned, the 84 siddhas and 9 nathas are remembered, and it is this tradition of siddha which is known as the Nath tradition. Siddha is a term used for both [[mahasiddha]]s and Naths So a siddha may mean a siddha, a mahasiddha or a nath. The three words are used interchangeably.

A list of eighty-four siddhas is found in a manuscript (manuscript no 48/34 of the Asiatic Society of Bengal) dated Lakshmana Samvat 388 (1506) of a medieval [[Maithili language|Maithili]] work, the [[Varna Ratnakara]] (devnagari: वर्ण-रत्नाकर) written by [[Jyotirishwar Thakur]], the court poet of King Harisimhadeva of Mithila (reigned 1300–1321). An interesting feature of this list is that the names of the most revered naths are incorporated in this list along with Buddhist siddhācāryas. The names of the siddhas found in this list are:{{sfnp|Dasgupta|1995|pp=203ff, 204}}{{sfnp|Haraprasad|2006|pp=xxxv-vi}}
