Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchTarkamatātīta (तर्कमतातीत) refers to “beyond analytical thought”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] By means of an absorption of six nights, great intelligence arises, as a result of which, [the Yogin acquires] knowledge of everything that is beyond analytical thought (tarkamatātīta). [...]”.
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).
