±·²¹±¹²¹³¾²¹±¹²¹°ùá¹£a (नवमवरà¥à¤�) refers to the “ninth yearâ€� (of Yogic breathing exercises), according to the ÅšivayogadÄ«pikÄ, an ancient Sanskrit text dealing with Yoga possibly corresponding to the Åšivayoga quoted in ÅšivÄnanda’s YogacintÄmaṇi.—Accordingly, [while describing a sequence of Haá¹­hayoga practices]: “Thus, by means of this Haá¹­hayoga which has eight auxiliaries, those [students who are] life-long celibates obtain the Siddhis of the [best of Sages] because of their untiring practice. [...] In the seventh year, he can leave the earth and in the eighth [year], the [yogic] powers [such as minimization, etc.,] arise for him. In the ninth [e.g., ²Ô²¹±¹²¹³¾²¹±¹²¹°ùá¹£a] year, he can move in the atmosphere, travel in [all] directions and has a body [as hard as] a diamond. [...]â€�.
