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

첹 (सर्वतारक) refers to “crossing over everything� (to liberation), according to the South-Indian recension of the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Tāraka [yoga] has a form consisting of all material forms and is limited to the senses. Practiced in two ways, it is dependent on the mind [and] causes one to cross over everything () [to liberation]. Having fixed the eyes on a light, [the yogin] should raise the eyebrows a little. This method of the preliminary yoga causes the no-mind state [to arise] spontaneously. [...]�.
