223,437 words | ISBN-10: 8171101519

The Sanskrit edition of the Yoga-vasistha including English translation and grammatical analysis. The Yogavasistha is a Hindu spiritual text written by Valmiki (who also authored the Ramayana) dealing with the philosophical topics from the Advaita-vedanta school. Chronologically it precedes the Ramayana.

Verse 6.9.10

सात्त्विकस्यास्य भागस्य नागविद्याधरास्तमः ।
रजस्तु मुनयः सिद्धाः सत्त्वं देवा हरादयः ॥ १० ॥

sāttvikasyāsya bhāgasya nāgavidyādharāstamaḥ |
rajastu munayaḥ siddhāḥ sattvaṃ devā harādayaḥ || 10 ||

Again this quality of positive goodness comprises the Suras or gods Hara and others of the first class that are purely and truly good. The sages and Siddhas forming the second or intermediate class, are endued with a less share of goodness in them, while Nagas or Vidyadharas making the last class possess it in the least degree.
