: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

Amanaskakṣura (अमनस्कक्षु�) refers to the “razor of the no-mind state�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [The Yogin] will obtain liberation by cutting with the razor of the no-mind [state] (Բ첹ṣu) the tough cord of the three Guṇas that binds the self. Just as everything disappears [from view] as the sun sets, so, the whole network of [past] actions (karma) dissolves into the no-mind [state]. [...]�.
