Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (Tibetan Buddhism)

The Bonds (of existence) is denoted in the Sanskrit language as Bandha, according to the thirty-third chapter of the Saṃvarodayatantra: a Buddhist explanatory Tantra of the Cakrasaṃvara cycle.—Accordingly, while describing the no-mind meditation: “[...] Free from meditation and concentration and beyond [both] Yoga and reasoning, he leads people to absorption in ‘suchness’, when the mind becomes steady in awareness. It is [e.g., the destruction of the bonds of existence (bhava-bandha-nāśana)] [...] inexpressible by words and even beyond the sphere of the mind”.
