details:
disciple of Hīranātha and seventh successor of Bhagavantanātha on the throne (gaddī) in Rānāgāũ;
before he passed away in 1907, he appointed Lokanātha as his successor but Devīnātha objected that he (as a more senior member of the tradition?) should be given the office;
according to Bouillier (1991: 167f.) Prime Minister Candra Śaṃśera Rāṇā took advantage of the situation, expropriated property of the maṭha and appointed a mahanta of his choice on salary basis (see also Zotter 2018: 456), probably Puṣkaranātha.
