Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchViṣasattva (विषसत्त्व) refers to “poisonous creatures”, according to the Svacchandatantra verse 12.85.—Accordingly, “Having meditated [on the earth element, the Sādhaka] obtains its Siddhi. [Thus,] he can prevent poisonous creatures (viṣasattva) [from moving] and he [himself] is immovable [even if pushed] by everyone; he is just as [solid] as the earth”.
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).
