help in the same direction comes from the dvalrimsikas 12th and 13th · and this as follows. In the Yogabindu Haribhadra has spoken of pūrvaseva conceived as the preliminary phase of a man's journey on the path of good conduct and the constituent elements of it are four, viz. (1) worsbip of the preceptor, deties etc., (2) gentlemaply behaviour, (3) penance, and (4) non-antipathy towards mokşa. Now in the dvālrimsikā 12th-with the title Pūrvaseva - Vašovijaya discusses these four constituent elements of Pūrvaseva in a general fashion and he devotes the 13th with the title Muktyadveşa - to the fourth of these exclusively. This highlights the importance Haribhadra-and following him Yasovijaya - wishes to attach to the quality of character called 'non-antipathy towards mokşa' - a quality which is woefully absent in the 'welcomer of the worldly existence and is defioitely present in the Apunarbhandhaka (to say nothing of the Samyagdrsti and the Caritrin).
The remaining four drālrimbikas based on the material borrowed from the Yogabindu-i. e. the dvätrimśikās 14th-17th contain what may be called the cream of this text of Haribhadra ; for the 14th-with the title Apunarbandbaka - discusses the nature of an Apunarbandhaka, the 15th-with the title Samyagdụsti-discusses the nature of Samyagdrsti, the 16th-with the title Iśvarānugraha- discusses the problem of divine grace, while the 17th-with the title Daivapuruşakāra-discusses the problem of fate versus perseverence.
As has been noted enrlier, the dvātrimśikās with the 21st - 24th borrow their material from the Yogadrstisam uccaya ; of these, the 21st-with the titie Mitrā - discusses the first yoga-viewpoint, the 22nd-with the title Tārāditraya - discusses the nature of the second, tbird and fourth yogaviewpoints, the 23rd-with the title Kutarkagrahanivștti--argues against logic-chopping, while the 24th-with the title Saddrsti-discusses the last four yoga-viewpoints.
loria
Even a mere mention of the tittle of these dvairimsikās of Yaśovijaya should enable us to form an idea of the most important topics Haribba. dra sought to cover in his treatment of yoga.
