Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya by Haribhadra Sūri
Chapter 5 – A Line of Demarcation between the first four and last four Yogadṛṣṭis [77 of 121]
Chapter 5.5 – The variegated worship and non–variegated worship [1 of 6]
To corroborate the oneness of omniscient persons Haribhadrasūri cites opinions of other sacred texts. It is said that if there is difference among omniscient persons, then various types of worships should have been prescribed for them in scriptures. But such is not the case. Therefore, it is proved that the omniscient persons are essentially same. The verse in the text Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya is as follows: – “This very idea also follows from the description, occurring in the sacred texts, which classifies the devotion to the deities into the variegated one and the non–variegated one.[1] In this verse Haribhadrasūri uses a compound sadyogaśāstreṣu.
It is interpreted in the auto–commentary as:
“...sadyogaśāstroṣu–sauvādhyatmacintāsāreṣu,...”[2]
The word sauvādhyātma is interpreted as –
... | sauvādhyātmo tyādi | — svasyedaṃ–sauvam (ga.ra.ma.adhyā–3/67 pṛ.113) kati gaṇaratnamahodadhivacanāt svakīyādhyātmacintanagranthoṣu katyāśayaḥ |...[3]
