Yogagati (योगगति) refers to the “attainment of union (without mind)”, according to the sixth chapter of Rājānaka Ratnākara’s Haravijaya (9th-century), which represents a hymn (stotra) to Śiva.—Accordingly, “Those [Yogins,] whose intense ascetic observance [is performed] for the attainment of union (yogagati) without mind, obtain according to tradition the spotless state which gives an unwavering existence in the Self. [The fact that Yogins obtain this spotless state,] O Śiva, is none other than [the expression of your] favour”.
