: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSeated Postures can be denoted by the Sanskrit term 膧sana, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擜ccordingly, as 莫艣vara says to V膩madeva: 鈥淸...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] By means of an absorption for a day and night, the Yogin who is steady in his seated posture (腻蝉补苍补) [ca sv膩sane sthita岣�] knows smells from afar, because of the cessation of the activity of his mind. [...]鈥�.
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 腻蝉补苍补s (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
