վṣaⲹٲ岵 (विषयत्या�) refers to “giving up sense objects�, according to the Haṭhapradīpikā of Svātmārāma: an influential 15th-century Sanskrit manual on Hatha-Yoga dealing with techniques to channel one’s vital energy.—Accordingly, “Giving up sense objects (ṣaⲹٲ岵) is difficult to achieve; seeing the highest reality is [also] difficult, and [so too] is attaining the natural state [of Samādhi], without the compassion of a true Guru�.
