आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

Among the Bairagi Nagas, renunciant
ascetics who are devotees (bhakta) of
Vishnu, the Nirvanis are one of the three
Naga anis (“armies”). The others are the
Nirmohis and Digambaras. In earlier
times these anis were actual fighting
units who made their living as traders
and mercenary soldiers, but in modern
times they are mainly important for
determining the order at the bathing
(snana) processions at the Kumbha
Mela. Of the three Naga anis, the
Digambaras are the most important and
take precedence at the Kumbha Mela.
