Sopan(19 November 1277 A.D- 29 December 1296 A.D),[1] attainedsamadhi at Saswad nearPune. He wrote a book, theSopandevi based on the Marathi translation of theBhagavad Gita along with 50 or soabhangs.
Nivruttinath: The eldest brother of Sopan, Nivrutti was an authority on the philosophy of theNath. Gahininath, one of the nine Nath gurus, accepted Nivrutti as his disciple and initiated him into the Nath sect, instructing him to propagate devotion to ShriKrishna. Dnyaneshwar accepted his elder brother as his own guru. After the early samadhi of Dnyaneshwar, Nivrutti travelled with his sister Muktai on a pilgrimage along theTapti River, where they were caught in a thunderstorm and Muktai was swept away. Nivrutti obtained samadhi at Tryambakeshwar. Around 375 abhangs are attributed to him but the authorship of many of them is disputed due to the difference in writing style and philosophy.
