Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch1) ´³¾±³Ù±¹Äå (जितà¥à¤µà¤¾) refers to “mastering (the breath)â€�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to VÄmadeva: “[...] [Though] one may with difficulty master (Âá¾±³Ù±¹Äå) the breath by various MudrÄs which are based upon physical torture; [though] one may control the flows [of the various vital airs] in all the channels located in one’s body; and though one may accomplish the dubious [act] of going into another’s body, there is certainly no attainment of liberation for one whose happiness is solely attached to knowledge [of these]. [...]â€�.
2) ´³¾±³Ù±¹Äå (जितà¥à¤µà¤¾) refers to “having conqueredâ€� (the hostile mind-king), according to the Amanaska Yoga.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to VÄmadeva: “[...] [The Yogin], whose foot-soldiers are his quietened senses and who is endowed with [a successful king’s] powers [in the form of] his higher faculty of discernment, becomes joyful when he has conquered (Âá¾±³Ù±¹Äå) the hostile mind-king who is accompanied by his [royal] vehicle, the breath. [...]â€�.

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 Äsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
