: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch1) (That which is) Imperishable is denoted by the Sanskrit term Ak峁ra, according to the B峁沨ad膩ra峁噛ikopani峁t 3.8.6.鈥擜ccordingly, while describing the absolute nature of Brahma: 鈥淕膩rgi said, 鈥榊膩j帽avalkya, that which is above the sky, below the earth, between the two and called [past, present and future], is stitched and cross-stitched in what?鈥� Y膩j帽avalkya said, 鈥楪膩rgi, the Brahmins call that very [thing] the imperishable one (补办峁谤补). [It is] not coarse, not particulated, not short, not long, bloodless, unlubricated, shadowless, undarkened, windless, spaceless, unattached, tasteless, scentless, invisible, inaudible, speechless, mindless [...]鈥欌��.
2) (That which is) Imperishable can be denoted by the Sanskrit terms Nirap膩ya, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise which deals absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擳he Amanaska referred to (or qualified) Sam膩dhi with several terms, which are all negative; [e.g., 苍颈谤补辫腻测补鈥攊t is imperishable;] [...] The fact that such terminology is found in the Amanaska indicates that descriptions of 艢iva and the void-like meditative states in Mantramargic 艢aivism, were the basis of the descriptions of Sam膩dhi and Paratattva (the highest reality) in this treatise. The Amanaska Yoga was consistent with the P膩ta帽jala Yoga艣膩stra鈥檚 definition of Yoga, yet it described Sam膩dhi in terms different to those of P膩ta帽jalayoga; such as 鈥渢hat which is imperishable鈥� (苍颈谤补辫腻测补).
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as 膩sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
