(Huom! Tässä on kyse MaharSi Patañjalin aSTaan.ga-yogasta, joka
on 25:en tattvaan eli "sellaisuuteen" perustuvan MaharSi Kapilan saaMkhya-filosofian
soveltamista käytäntöön mm. hengitysharjoitusten ja meditaation avulla. Yogaa
kutsutaan joskus seshvara-saaMkhyaksi eli teistiseksi s:ksi.)

Yksi keskeisehkö käsite yoga-filosofiassa on iishvara-praNidhaana; iishvara = aurinkokuntamme hallitsija, Jumala??

Ekan kerran iishvara mainitaan suutrassa I 23

iishvara-praNidhanaad vaa .. 23.

HA]: From Special Devotion to Isvara Also (Concentration Becomes Imminent).

[VH]: , because of iisvara-pranidhana- the perfect aligning of attention is in iishvara-the ultimate seer (there is a defference in nearness of the other nirodha).

[BM]: Cessation of thought may also come from dedication to the Lord of Yoga.

[SS]: Or [samadhi is attained] by devotion with total dedication to God [Isvara].

[SP]: Concentration may also be attained through devotion to Ishwara.

[SV]: Or by devotion to Isvara.

Tämän jälkeen Patañjali kuvailee iishvaraa:

klesha-karma-vipaakaashayair aparaamRSTaH puruSavisheSa iishvaraH

Iäntämisvinkki:

kleesha-karma-vipaakaashayair aparaamrishtaf purushavisheesha iishvarahaa.

[HA]: Isvara Is A Particular Purusa Unaffected By Affliction, Deed, Result Of Action Or The Latent Impressions Thereof.

[VH]: Isvara is a distinction of parusa-self, untouched by accumulations of the fruitions of karma-action (arising) from klesa-root obstructions (causes of pain).

[BM]: The Lord of Yoga is a distinct form of spirit unaffected by the forces of corruption, by action, by fruits of action, or by subliminal intentions.

[SS]: Isvara is the supreme Purusha, unaffected by any afflictions, actions, fruits of actions or by any inner impressions of desires.

[SP]: Ishwara is a special kind of Being, untouched by ignorance and the products of ignorance, not subject to karmas or samskaras or the results of action.

[SV]: Isvara (the Supreme Ruler) is a special Purusa, untouched by misery, the results of actions, or desires.
