: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

Ś岹ṣaⲹ (शब्दविषय) refers to the “sense-object of sound�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] Just as a lake [which is] free from wind (ٲ) [appears] still and pure, so [the Yogin] in absorption is seen to be free from the objects of the senses, beginning with sound (ś岹ṣaⲹ) [śabdādiviṣayais tyakto]. [...]�.
