After coming from Kapilvastu ( present day it is the region between Birdpur tehsil of Sidharthnagar district and Taulihwa region of Kapilvastu district of Lumbini Anchal of Nepal) towards the eastern India present day Bihar region, He changed his princes cloth and gave to his attended and wore new cloth of ascetic life. It symbolizes the attending just a new body of sage or knowledge seeker instead of prince puzzled in worldly pleasure. That is region why this name Nau=new and Tan=body is called.
