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

Gorakṣopaniṣad (गोरक्षोपनिषद�) is the name of an ancient Yoga treatise which is quoted in the Gorakṣasiddhāntasaṅgraha, a text dealing with Yoga quoting from approximately seventy-two sources including the Amanaska Yoga treatise.—Accordingly, [while describing the state of emancipation]: “It is said, ‘the goal of the supreme spirit is liberation�. And it is the state [achieved through] the essence of Śiva. His essence [is described] in the Ҵǰṣo貹Ծṣa, ‘the deity of constant bliss is above the non-dual state�. [...] In the Amanaska, [it is said]: ‘That is declared as the highest Brahma which is free from existence and non-existence, without cessation and arising and beyond all imaginings [of the mind]�.�.
