Adipurana
He, who was extremely emaciated by the intense austerities of Agra and Ugra Tapas, was shining brightly like the sun, due to the intense austerity of Dipta Tapas. ||159|| He performed the austerities of Taptaghora and Mahaghora, and also the subsequent austerities, which were even more intense. ||160|| Due to these great austerities, he, the best of the sages, was shining brightly, like the sun emerging from the clouds, free from the obstacles of wealth. ||161|| Due to the power of his austerities, the eight types of Vikriya (powers) manifested. "He, who performs intense austerities, renouncing all Vikriya (transformations)." ||162|| He had the proximity of the world, who had attained the eight types of Aushadha (medicinal) powers, and who benefited the beings through Amarsha, Shwel, and Jalla. ||163|| Even though he did not eat, he had the Rasa (essence) power, due to his mere strength, and his Bala (strength) power, which manifested due to the power of his austerities, was also expanding. ||164|| He was Akshina Avastha (one who has no fatigue) and Akshina Mahanas (one who has no hunger), as the austerities, which are practiced with full devotion, produce inexhaustible fruits. ||165|| Having conquered the senses, he, the best of the yogis, who was a master of yoga, engaged his mind in the practice of meditation, knowing that the nature of the mind, free from duality, is the true self. ||166|| He attained the highest level of Kshama (forgiveness), Marda (gentleness), Arjava (straightforwardness), Satya (truthfulness), Shouch (purity), Tapas (austerity), Tyaga (renunciation), Akinchanya (non-attachment), and Brahmacharya (celibacy). ||167|| These are the ten thoughts of Dharma Dhyana (meditation on righteousness). Yogis believe that the highest Siddhi (perfection) - Moksha (liberation) - can be attained only when Yoga Siddhi (perfection in yoga) is achieved in this world. ||168||
