History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c94.126

v7.c94.126

²²⁷⁸ That the yoga Upanisads are late productions may be briefly indicated here Verses 10-14 of the गोरक्षशतक (dealing with the *ādhāra* and *svadhisthāna cakras*) are found in the ध्यानविन्दु (verses 43-47) and in the योगचूडामणि (verses 4-9) with slight variations Vide pp. 1060-1062 and notes 1715-1717 above for the six chakras and the nādis In the description of prānāyāma the Sāndılya Upanisad quotes certain verses with the words तदेते श्लोका भवन्ति, some of which occur in the गोरक्षशतक One cannot say definitely that the Sāndılya borrows from G S., but this is possible. All the ancient and medieval works on the several branches of yoga are not yet available, and therefore one cannot preclude the possibility that Sāndılya and other yoga upanisads and गोरक्षशतक borrow from earlier sources not yet discovered
