PREFACE
Ac Haribhadra1 has written several works on Yoga, viz. (1) Yogabindu, (2) Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya, (3) Yogaśataka and (4) Yogavimśikā. The first two are his major works. This volume contains the Sanskrit text of the Yogabindu, printed in both the scripts Nagari and Roman. Dr. K. K. Dixit has translated the text into English, adding explanatory notes at various places. Needless to say that the translation will be useful to the students of Yoga. In the Introduction Dr. Dixit has given the substance and nature of the text. For all this we are very thankful to him. In printing the text of the Yogabindu we have utilized Suali's edition (published by Jaina Dharma Prasaraka Sabha, Bhavanagar 1911) and the edition of Jaina Grantha Prakashaka Sabha (Ahmedabad, 1940). We acknowledge our indebtedness to these two Sabbas. Our thanks are also due to Pt. A. P. Shah who has helped us in correcting the proofs.
