: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch驰辞驳补艣腻蝉迟谤补 (啶啶椸ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ) of the 艢vet膩mbara Jain scholar, Hemacandra, can be dated accurately to the twelfth century because of his prominence in the Jain tradition and his close association with King Kum膩rap膩la of Gujarat. In the final verse, Hemacandra explains that he wrote the 驰辞驳补艣腻蝉迟谤补, which he calls an 鈥楿pani峁d of Yoga鈥�, at the request of King Kum膩rap膩la. [...] Hemacandra does not attempt to hide the fact that much of the 驰辞驳补艣腻蝉迟谤补 is based on his knowledge of other scriptures (艣腻蝉迟谤补). Much of the 驰辞驳补艣腻蝉迟谤补鈥檚 twelfth chapter is based on the Amanaska's second chapter, so it appears that Hemacandra was willing to rely on the direct experience of others, as it were, in order to write about the highest reality (tattva).
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 膩sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
