FWIW, the suutra following "flying" goes like this: bahir akalpitaa vRttir mahaavidehaa; tataH prakaashaavaraNa- kSayaH a-kalpita Entry akalpita Meaning mfn. not manufactured , not artificial , not pretended ; natural , genuine. This is my attempt at translating it, on the basis of Taimni, et al: The modification of the mind (vRtti) [called] mahaa-videhaa (great bodylessness?) is "outside [the intellect -- Taimni]" (bahis) and natural(?); from it (tataH) [follows] destruction (kSayaH) of the covering (aavaraNa) of light (prakaasha).
