The Bondage of Anger is denoted by the Sanskrit term Krodha-Bandhana [kāmakrodhādibandhanam], according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] As soon as the no-mind [state arises,] the bondage of lust, anger (krodhabandhana) and [other such snares] is immediately destroyed. When the [rigid] pillar of mental faculties has ceased [to exist], the bodily abode becomes loose [and collapses]. [...]”.
