"Then follows the instruction of Yoga.' Then instead of quoting Patanjali's second sutra defining what is meant by Yoga, he goes on to explain the meaning of Yoga using the words of Maniprabha and Rajamartanda, and more of the latter. While Maniprabha says that Yoga secures the fruit named Emancipation, the author says in his second sutra that it is fruitful.

Then the author goes on to differentiate this internal absorption of mind into three forms, Rajasa, active, Tamasa, lethargic, and Satvika, serene, as done both by Rama
