Haṭhābhyāsapaddhati (हठाभ्यासपद्धति) represents an 18th-century text on Haṭhayoga.—The terminus ad quem (‘latest possible date’) of the Haṭhābhyāsapaddhati is the Śrītattvanidhi, which was a compendium composed by Kṛṣṇarāja Waḍiyar III, the Mahārāja of Mysore, who was active in the mid-nineteenth century (Sjoman 1996, 40). The Haṭhābhyāsapaddhati was a source text of the Śrītattvanidhi (see Birch 2018, 131–134), and probably predates it by a hundred years or so (Birch and Singleton 2019, 14–16).
