prākāmyamasya vyāpitvādīśitvañceśvaro yataḥ /
vakhitvādvaśimā nāma yoginaḥ saptamo guṇaḥ //
Where minuteness, and lightness,[12] greatness and the power of obtaining every thing, freedom of will,[13] and lordship, and magical domination and again self-mortification are—one finds these eight sovereign-like qualities fully indicate union with the Supreme Spirit,[14] O king. The quality of minuteness is far subtler than the subtle; lightness means swiftness; greatness consists in being universally reverenced; the power of obtaining everything, inasmuch as nothing is impossible of obtainment by him; freedom of will consists in his power of pervading all things; and lordship inasmuch as he is lord; magical domination indeed, the yogi’s seventh quality consists in his subjugating things; where the wishes are said to remain stationary,[15] there[16] is self-mortification. By these causes of sovereignty I have declared O king! in eight points the indicatory marks[17] of the yogi’s final emancipation from existence, and of his sublime union with the Supreme Spirit.
