Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSmelted Gold is denoted by the Sanskrit term Niṣṭapta [niṣṭaptaṃ kanakaṃ], according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Just as gold (niṣṭapta) which has been smelted and has left behind its impurities, becomes pure, and water, which is waveless [when] in [a place] without wind, becomes nothing but its own transparent nature, so, this entire world, which has left behind its aspected [nature], shines intensely, aspectless. That is the pure reality, whose essential nature is innate, and certainly [arises] when the no-mind [state] has arisen. [...]”.
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 āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
