divisions of the Sāṅkhya system, its chief aim being
to teach the means by which the human soul may
attain complete union with Īśvara or the Supreme
Being, whose existence it establishes, while the origi-
nal system or Sāṅkhya proper, without acknowledging
a Supreme Being, teaches the successive development
of the Tattvas or principles of creation from an origi-
nal Tattva, called Prakṛti or Pradhāna; according to
Patañjali, the author of the second system, Yoga is
defined to be ‘the preventing of the modifications
of
citta or the thinking principle [which modifica-
tions arise through the three Pramāṇas, perception,
inference, and verbal testimony, as well as through
incorrect ascertainment, fancy, sleep, and recollection]
by
abhyāsa or the constant practice of keeping the
mind in its unmodified state [clear as crystal when
uncoloured by contact with other substances], and by
vairāgya or dispassion;’ this dispassion being ob-
tained by
praṇidhāna or devotedness to Īśvara,
