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

Conquering (the mind) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Jaya, 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, while discussing methods for conquering the mind: “Acquiring spiritual knowledge, associating with the wise, abandoning habitual tendencies and stopping the movement of the breath; according to tradition, [all] these methods are effective in conquering (jaya) the mind. The [mind] is quickly overcome by these [methods of restraint] like the dust of the earth by streams [of water]�.
