Yogapradīpa (योगप्रदीप) refers to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses.—Some writers suggest that an alternative title for the Jñānārṇava is Yogapradīpa, “Light on Yoga”. Presumably they are encouraged to do so because the colophons at the end of each chapter almost invariably describe the Jñānārṇava as yogapradīpādhikāra, “which has the aim of illuminating yoga” (see the discussion of the introduction by the editors of the JA[S] 3rd ed. in section 1.1).
