Amaraughaśāsana (अमरौघशासन):—This text has been published on the basis of a single Sharada manuscript that was copied in 1525 CE. It teaches various Haṭha Yoga techniques, in particular khecarīmudrā, calling them sāraṇās. The text is for the most part a compilation. It shares some verses with the Netratantra and also with the Siddhasiddhāntapaddhati but not with any texts of the Haṭha Yoga corpus. These shared verses, the text’s isolation, its script, its idiosyncrasies, and the one other (fragmented) manuscript of the text having been found at Subashi, near Kuqa in Xinjiang, suggest that a tradition of Haṭha Yoga flourished in the northwest of the subcontinent independently of that found elsewhere.

context information

Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
