YOGA DRSTISAMUCCAYA
..[70-71) In these verses Haribbadra gives vent to his conviction that a person possessing ved yasañredrapadam and he alone_can possibly lead a : life of 10 sin. The idea seems to be that such a person comes to develop a patural aversion for wrong doing, but the thesis requires sæbstantiation.
अवेद्यसंवेद्यपदमपदं परमार्थतः । पदं तु वेद्यसंवेद्यपदमेव हि योगिनाम् ॥७२॥
avedyasamvedyapadam apadaí paramārthataḥ / padam tu vedyasamvedya padam eva hi yaginām ||72||
Thus strictly speaking (the state of mind called) aoedyasívedya pada is DO proper resting place for gogins while (the state of mind called) vedyasamoedya pada is alone a proper resting place for them.
[72] This verse suggests that according to Haribhadra persons possessing vedyasainvedya pada i. e. those upholding the last four yogaviewpoints are alone jogins in a real sense of the term. One then wonders why he bas undertaken an elaborate fourfold division of the state traditionally known by the single name A punarbandhaka. It would have been far more helpful if Haribhadra only pointed out to us the precise point of difference between an Apunarbandhaka and yogin truly so called - in other words, if he only laid bare the essential nature of vedyasarvedya pada.
वेद्यं संवेधते यस्मिन्नपायादिनिबन्धनम् । तथाऽप्रवृत्तिवुद्धयाऽपि स्याद्यागमविशुद्धया ॥७३॥ तत्पदं साध्ववस्थानाद् मिन्नग्रन्थ्यादिलक्षणम् । अन्वर्थयोगतस्तन्त्रे वेद्यसंवेद्यमुच्यते ॥७॥

The state of mind in which one knows the knowables like woman etc. as the cause of urbappy states etc. and in which one also develops towards these knowables an attitude of avoidance-an attitude rendered pure with the help of scriptures-is, owing to its firm capacity for comprehension, a proper resting place (for the yogin's understanding) and
