Bhūbhāra (भूभार) refers to the “weight of the earth”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] If [the Yogin] who abides in absorption remains [in it] up to the end of eighteen days, he obtains the Siddhi called Garimā, by which he possesses the weight of the earth (bhūbhāra-dhṛk). [...]”.
