Yogayukti (योगयुक्ति) refers to the “practice of Yoga”, according to the commentary on the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “(Contemplating the fire burning fiercely, the goddess) reduces her body to ashes in order to purify herself. Her body burnt with the practice of Yoga (yogayukti) in accord with the sacred seat, that is, in accord with the sacred seat that is the 'Maṇḍala of Gesture' by means of the transmission (krama) that is located in the centre (of it). When (her) body had been (completely) burnt by the Fire of Time, (she) assumed the form of a burning coal.”.
