Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya by Haribhadra Sūri
Chapter 6 – Influence of the Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya [42 of 48]
Chapter 6.4 – Adhyātmasāra by Upādhyāya Yaśovijaya [11 of 17]
Conclusion [1 of 7]
It is well known that Haribhadrasūri defined the term Yoga for the first time in the Jain Yoga tradition and his definition has been accepted as authentic almost by all jainācāryas. Though Haribhadrasūri defined Yoga for the first time, it is not the case that he is the first propagator of Yoga in Jainism. He collected scattered yogic concepts of Jainism and presented them in a unique way in his Yoga–works. He developed a highly non–technical terminology for the Jain traditional concepts. For example, the usage of the term vedyasaṃvedyapada for samyagdarśana and avedyasaṃvedyapada for mithyātva, in the Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya. Haribhadrasūri’s Yoga–works compare the Jain Yoga and its terminology with the Pātañjala Yoga and the Buddhist Yoga and bring out thereby very ably and clearly the unity that underlies all these divergent traditions of Yoga.
