The third sentence(?) of BaadaraayaNa's (?aka Veda-vyaasa's, KRSNa Dvaipaayana's, who is thought to be the author of Vedaanta-suutras aka Brahma-suutras aka Shaariiraka-suutras) commentary on YS IV 1 goes like this:
mantrairaakaashagamanaaNimaadilaabhaH without sandhi prolly like this: mantraiH; aakaasha-gamana; aNimaa-aadi -laabhaH mantraiH by (or whatever is the most best preposition hereabouts) mantras akaasha-gamana space-going (yogic flying) aNimaadi (aNimaa-aadi) aNimaa, etc: the eight mahaa-siddhis (aNimaa, mahimaa, garimaa, laghimaa...) laabhaH achievement (~they [YF and the 8] are achieved) It's interesting that BaadaraayaNa, the author of Vedaanta-suutras ("etena yogaH pratyuktaH", [by this {paataƱjala-}yoga is refuted]) specifically mentions YF here. Ouch, I'm running out, or stuff, of brackets... :0 ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Drugs Don't Discriminate.
