6. Comparision of ۴Dzūٰ and ۴DzDZ貹Ծṣas
ٲñᲹDz is treated with the spiritual aspect So it is called ᲹDz. But the Yogopanishadic yoga is highly physical, so it is termed as ᲹṻDz. In the ۴Dzūٰ, the yogic practices are described in a systematic order while in the ۴DzDZ貹Ծṣa, there is no such systematic relation. They sometime vary in themself. They deal with the yogic aspects or vedantic or other concepts related with our life etc. Even though it explains the yoga and its practice along with the description of its , his eligibility, the qualities to be fulfilled, the nature of Dzṻ etc, these things show the relevance of the ۴DzDZ貹Ծṣaic yoga as those of the ʲٲñᲹDz. Both the ۴Dzūٰ and the ۴DzDZ貹Ծṣas regard yoga as a means to ǰṣa along with ñԲ. Both the yogas enumerate the combination of jñāna yoga as a path to realization. The ṇoԲ concept is supported in both categories of yoga.
Even though the ۴DzDZ貹Ծṣas emphasize it throughout the entire study, the ۴Dzūٰ assigned the Īś concept conditionally. The ۴Dzūٰ does not exhibit more religious reflection while the ۴DzDZ貹Ծṣa reflects a lot of it. There are more various scientific interpretations and modern perspectives assigned to the ۴DzDZ貹Ծṣaic yoga than those in the ۴Dzūٰ. These things are discussed below.
