Yoga (school of philosophy)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Nishtha in Yoga glossary
: academia.edu: Meaning of haṭha in Early Haṭhayoga

ṣṭ (निष्ठा) [=ṣṭ󲹳?] refers to “devotion�.—In contrasting tranquility (śԳپ) with ṻ첹, the commentator, Jayaratha, describes tranquility as a “process of pleasant combustion� (ܰ첹). When the Guru has been propitiated, the “tranquil� methods of initiation (īṣ�-󲹲Բ) and devotion to a religious practice (anuṣṻ�-Ծṣṭ󲹳) will bring about transcendence (atyaya) at the time of death. However, ṻ첹 is a sudden and violent process that burns up all things () in the fire of intelligence. It destroys duality and is likened by Abhinavagupta to the enjoyment (rasa) of devouring enough (ṅg). The commentator notes that ṻ첹 is a forceful action (ٰṇa) that transgresses the normal order (ⲹپū貹) and, as noted earlier, this connotation of haṭha is implicit in Haṭhayoga’s effect of raising the downward-moving breath (Բ) and the normally dormant Kuṇḍalinī.
