: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSteady Mind refers to one of the Yogic powers obtained by those having practices for over five years, according to the 艢ivayogad墨pik膩, an ancient Sanskrit text dealing with Yoga possibly corresponding to the 艢ivayoga quoted in 艢iv膩nanda鈥檚 Yogacint膩ma峁噄.鈥擜ccordingly, [while describing a sequence of Ha峁環ayoga practices]: 鈥淭hus, by means of this Ha峁環ayoga which has eight auxiliaries, those [students who are] life-long celibates obtain the Siddhis of the [best of Sages] because of their untiring practice. [...] In thetwelfth year, he is an equal to 艢iva and he himself is the creator and destroyer[of the universe]. Thus, within twelve years, he easily becomes a perfected one of steady mind because of his devotion at the feet of the true lord of gurus. This is well attested. [...]鈥�.
