Mahapuraanam
He became extremely emaciated by the intense austerity of Tapa, and by the austerity called Deepta, he shone brightly like the sun. ||146|| He performed the austerities called Taptaghora and Mahagora, and in addition to these, his other austerities also increased greatly. ||150|| By these great austerities, the best of the Munis shone brightly, like the sun emerging from the clouds. ||151|| Although he abandoned all kinds of Vikriya (afflictions), it is amazing that eight types of Vikriya manifested due to the power of his austerity. Meaning: The eight types of Vikriya (powers) - Anima, Mahima, Garima, Laghima, Prapti, Prakamya, Ishitva, and Vashitva - manifested in the great Bahubali Maharaj, who abandoned all afflictions like attachment and aversion and performed intense austerities. ||152|| The proximity of those Munis, who possess the power of various medicines and who benefit beings through Amarsha, Shwel, and Jalla, was beneficial to the world. Meaning: All the diseases of those who stayed near them were destroyed. ||153|| Although he did not eat, his Rasa-Riddhi (power of taste) manifested merely by his power, and his Bala-Riddhi (power of strength), which manifested due to his austerity, also expanded. Meaning: The Rasa-Riddhi of a Muni who eats can be used, but he did not eat, so it is said that his Rasa-Riddhi was present merely by his power. ||154|| The Muni possessed the Akshaina-Samvasa (power of endless dwelling) and Akshaina-Mahanas (power of endless hunger) Riddhis. This is appropriate, because austerity, which is fully practiced, produces endless results. ||155|| The Muni, the best of the Yogis, who knew Yoga, conquered his mind and engaged it in the practice of meditation, having realized that the nature of the mind free from duality is the true nature of the self. ||156|| He attained the highest forms of Kshama (forgiveness), Mardava (gentleness), Arjava (straightforwardness), Satya (truthfulness), Shouch (purity), Sanayama (self-control), Tapa (austerity), Tyaga (renunciation), Akinchanya (non-attachment), and Brahmacharya (celibacy). These ten are the Dharmadhyana (meditation on Dharma) practices. Yogis believe that in this world, only after achieving the Siddhi (perfection) of Yoga, can one attain the highest Siddhi (success) - liberation. ||157-158||
