[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Nihsheshashesha in Yoga glossary
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

ḥśeṣāśeṣa (निःशेषाशेष) refers to “all� or “entire� or “the whole range of any and all�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise which deals absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—The Amanaska referred to (or qualified) Samādhi with several terms, which are all negative; [e.g., it is devoid of all activity (Ծḥśeṣāśeṣa-ṣṭٲ);] [...] The fact that such terminology is found in the Amanaska indicates that descriptions of Śiva and the void-like meditative states in Mantramargic Śaivism, were the basis of the descriptions of Samādhi and Paratattva (the highest reality) in this treatise. The Amanaska Yoga was consistent with the Pātañjala Yogaśāstra’s definition of Yoga, yet it described Samādhi in terms different to those of Pātañjalayoga; such as Acala—“that which is devoid of all activity (Ծḥśeṣāśeṣa-ṣṭٲ)�.
