श्रीदेवीविराड्‌रूपदर्शनसहितं देवकृततत्स्तववर्णनम्

हिमालय उवाच

योगं वद महेशानि साङ्गं संवित्प्रदायकम् ।

कृतेन येन योग्योऽहं भवेयं तत्त्वदर्शने ॥ १ ॥

श्रीदेव्युवाच

न योगो नभसः पृष्ठे न भूमौ न रसातले ।

ऐक्यं जीवात्मनोराहुर्योगं योगविशारदाः ॥ २ ॥

The experts of Yoga Shastra say that Jiva-Brahma-aikya is what Yoga means.

विश्वं शरीरमित्युक्तं पञ्चभूतात्मकं नग ।

चन्द्रसूर्याग्नितेजोभिर्जीवब्रह्मैक्यरूपकम् ॥ २७ ॥

The subjects covered in this chapter, the method of yoga, are those in vogue in Advaita.
