: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch1) The Receptacle (of divisions) is denoted by the Sanskrit term 膧dh膩ra, according to the Devy膩mata f. 30r2-3 (From the Paramatattvavic膩rapa峁璦la verse 57-60b).鈥擜ccordingly: while discussing the dichotomy of 艢iva as mental and transmental: 鈥淸艢iva as] the receptacle (腻诲丑腻谤补) of divisions is mental whereas the supreme 艢iva is beyond mind. The mental [aspect] is that which has mind alone, into which 艢iva is fused and from which he does not ascend. That which has no mind and from which the mind does not return, is known as the no-mind [aspect of] the omniscient and all-pervasive 艢iva鈥�.
2) The Receptacle (of all Siddhis) can be denoted by the Sanskrit term Bh膩jana, according to the Yogam膩rgaprak膩艣ik膩 145-146b.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淚f [the Yogin鈥檚] semen accidentally moves [from his body] and has fallen into [a woman鈥檚] vagina, the sucking up of both [semen and vaginal fluid] by the Yogin, [results in] him becoming a receptacle (产丑腻箩补苍补) of [all] the Siddhis. This Mudr膩, [called] Sahajol墨, should always be known by Yogins鈥�.
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).
