Bhāsya
1. By means of his occult power
The self-cultivated ascetic creates new forms by his protean power potential, and by means of his occult power, he enters, pervades and activates the body of others. The ābhiyogiki bhāvanā is concerned with occult science and incantation etc.. The Vrtti explains abhijumjittae as entering the bodies of horse etc. and pervade them and activate them by the power of occult sciences. In the Uttaradhyāyana, there is mention of ābhiyogikī bhāvanā which is concerned with incarnation subduing
etc.
1. Uttara. 36.264.
