Gorakhnath and the Kanphata Yogis c3.4

c3.4

The Sanskrit text here presented has not been, so far as the author knows, heretofore translated into English. There are, in other works, quotations including in all practically every verse of the *Gorakṣaśataka*, but the English translations of those verses are often in very free renderings. The translation here offered has been checked with the extensive commentary by Lakṣmi Nārāyaṇa, attached to the ‘Poona’ copy of the *Gorakṣaśataka*. The translations of passages from other Sanskrit texts of the sect are also by the author.
