dhyāna along with above mentioned dhāraņās. But in this regard scholors are of the opinion that he borrowed these ideas from śubhacandra's Iñānārņava which is an earlier work of his Yogaśāstra30
In short these types of dhyāna and dhāraṇā, first śubhacandra borrowed from Hindu Tantra and then Hemacandra followed the Subhacandra and thus we can say that in this period the impact of other systems of yoga sādhanā on Jaina yoga easily can be seen.

The Dhyāna-śataka, is the first yoga work of this period, in which we do not find any impact of other yoga systems on it, because this work only deals with four types of meditations according to the Jaina canonical works.
