(That which is) Hot is denoted by the Sanskrit term Uṣṇa, 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. [The Yogin] who has gone to absorption does not know pleasure and pain, and he does not meet with hot (uṣṇa) or cold [śītoṣṇaṃ ca na vindati]. He gives no thought to sense objects. [...]”.
