: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (yoga)

ҳṭaٳ󲹲Dz (घटस्थयोग) is the name of a type of Yoga defined in the Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā.—The Haṭhayogasaṃhitā appears to have been the basis of the Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā (eighteenth century), which adds a new frame story (viz., a dialogue between the teacher Gheraṇḍa and a student Caṇḍakāpāli), several elaborate visualization practices and a six-fold Rājayoga. The Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā calls its Yoga ṭaٳ󲹲Dz, omits the Haṭhayogasaṃhitā’s teachings on DZī and redefines this ܻ as a handstand, thus revealing a reluctance to adopt the transgressive practices of Haṭhayoga.
