Verse 3
How many are they, and how do they come· Verses 1–3
श्रीभगवानुवाच ।जितेन्द्रियस्य युक्तस्य जितश्वासस्य योगिनः ।मयि धारयतश्चेत उपतिष्ठन्ति सिद्धयः
।
श्रीभगवानुवाच ।सिद्धयोऽष्टादश प्रोक्ता धारणायोगपारगैः ।तासामष्टौ मत्प्रधाना दशैव गुणहेतवः
1Bhagavan said: For the yogin whose senses are conquered, who is joined to the discipline, whose breath is conquered, who holds his thought on me, the powers come and stand ready. 2By which holding does which power come, Unfallen, and in what way? And how many are the powers? Tell me. You are the one who gives them to yogins. 3Bhagavan said: Those who have gone to the far shore of yoga speak of eighteen powers, and of holdings. Eight of them have me for their ground; ten come of the strands.
