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, Page0822-a+ 81 the Supreme, who is defined as a particular Puruṣa or spirit unaffected by afflictions, works, &c., and having the appellation Praṇava or Om, which mono- syllable is to be muttered and its meaning reflected on in order to attain knowledge of the Supreme and the prevention of the obstacles to Yoga: the eight means or stages of Yoga or mental concentration are, 1. yama, forbearance; 2. niyama, religious ob- servances; 3. āsana, postures; 4. prāṇāyāma, regu- lation of the breath; 5. pratyāhāra, restraint of the senses; 6. dhāraṇā, steadying of the mind; 7. dhyā- na, contemplation; 8. samādhi, profound medita- tion, which, according to the Bhagavad-gītā VI. 13, is to be practised by fixing the eyes on the tip of the nose: true liberation is the cessation of all idea of self and the separation of matter and spirit or kaivalya, isolation: the self-mortification and asce- ticism of the Yoga connects it closely with Buddhism);
