ON APUNARBANDHAKA
But when such a cogitation-comparable to a shining jewel-bas begun to take place as a result of a mighty perseverance on the part of the agent concerned and as a result of the calmness of his mind his ethico-religious performances are always of a pure type.
एतच्च योगहेतुत्वाद् योग इत्युचितं वचः ।
मुख्यायां पूर्वसेवायामवतारोऽस्य केवलम् ॥ २०९ ॥
etac ca yogahetuträd yoga ity ucitam vacaḥ mukhyāyām pūrvasevāyām avatāro'sya kevalam [[209||
These ethico-religious performances are rightly called Yoga on account of being a cause of Toga (i.e. of the concerned soul's connection with mokşa), and such performances become possible only at the time of what is 'preliminary performance' of the highest type (i. e. 'preliminary performance' undertaken by a bhinnagranthi).
(5) The Three concomitants of Yoga:
त्रिधा शुद्धमनुष्ठानं सच्छास्त्र परतन्त्रता । सम्यक्प्रत्ययवृत्तिश्च तथाऽत्रैव प्रचक्षते ॥ २१ ॥
tridha suddham anuṣṭhānam sacchustra paratantratā | samyak pratyayavṛtliś ca tathā'traiva pracakṣate ||210][
The following things have been verily spoken of in the context of (an account of) Toga: (i) a triply pure ethico-religious performance, (ii) a dependence ou right scriptural texts, (iii) a proper feeling of ascertainment.
(5-i) The Triply Pure Ethico-Religious Performance; विषयात्मानुबन्धैस्तु त्रिधा शुद्धमुदाहृतम् ।

अनुष्ठानं प्रधानत्वं ज्ञेयमस्य यथोत्तरम् ॥ २११ ॥
viṣayātmānubandhais tu tridhā śuddham udāhṛlam [ ́ anuṣṭhānam pradhanatvam jñeyam asya yathottaram ||211/
By a triply pure ethico-religious performance are to be understood the following three types of such performance: (i) a performance whose object happens to be pure, (ii) a performance which is itself pure, (iii) a performance which is conducive to an uninterrupted series of similar performances. Of these three a succeeding one is superior to a preceding one.
