ٳ󾱰峦 (स्थिरवाच�) refers to “steady speech�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [When the gaze] is focused constantly, [it results] in forcibly cutting off the streams of intentional thinking. [Then,] because of the disappearance of its object [of focus], the gaze, while very gradually weakening, [finally] ceases. The more the mind becomes steady through the constant practice [of focusing the gaze], so does breath, speech [i.e., ٳ󾱰峦], body and gaze [vāyuvākkāyadṛṣṭīṇā� sthiratā ca tathā tathā]. [...]�.
