YOGABINDU
Thus as a result of attributing to things a behaviour that is in conformity to the findings of observation etc. it has been possible to arrive at a correct assessment of the nature of things even if this asse. ssment is often differently worded by different circles.
अमुख्यविषयो यः स्यादुक्तिमेदः स बाधकः । हिंसाहिंसादिवद् यद्वा तत्त्वभेदव्यपाश्रयः ॥२८॥ amukhyavişayo paḥ syād uktibhedaḥ sa bādhakaḥ / himsāhińsādivad yadvā taitvabhedatya pasrayah |/28//

Note: To be explicit, in the sense indicated the word yama is current among the Sankhyas, the word vrata among the Tainas. (3) The Sereral Classifications of yoga :

yuktyāgamānusārena yogamārgo’bhidhīyate 1/30|| Hence ve now proceed to offer in conformity to logic as well as the scriptures such an account of the yoga path as concerns itself with essential matters (i.e. matters essential from the point of view of yoga practice) and refers to features that are pretty obvious, 1.
