Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchVimalapada (विमलपद) refers to a “pure state”, according to verse 6.21.14 of the Mokṣopāya.—Accordingly, as Bhuśuṇḍa said to Vasiṣṭha: “[...] When [mount] Meru and the rest have dissolved into the world and become one ocean, then, having performed concentration on the wind element, I remain with my mind steady. Having attained the further shore of the universe in a pure state (vimalapada) [vimale pade] at the end of the elements, I remain because of the immovable state of my deep [meditative] sleep, until Brahmā is again intent upon the act of creation. Then, having entered the universe, I remain in the sky. [...]”.
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).
