Gorakṣasiddhāntasaṅgraha (गोरक्षसिद्धान्तसङ्ग्रह) is the name of a text which quotes several verses of the Amanaska Yoga treatise.—The Gorakṣasiddhāntasaṅgraha contains quotations from approximately seventy-two sources along with large sections of exegesis in prose. In addition to works which are associated with Gorakṣanātha, such as the Gorakṣopaniṣat, Gorakṣakavaca and so on, it quotes from Śruti and Smṛti as well as a number of medieval yoga texts. [...] The Gorakṣasiddhāntasaṅgraha is the only text which quotes verses from both chapters of the Amanaska with attribution to it. In a discussion on the ideal guru at the beginning of the Gorakṣasiddhāntasaṅgraha, the second hemistich of a verse from the Amanaska's second chapter is quoted to support the contention that the true guru is beyond caste and religious disciplines.
