¹ Cf. Patañjali Yoga-Sūtra, I. 2 : Yogaścittavṛttinirodhaḥ. 2 Ranade, Constructive Survey of Upanisadic Philosophy, p. 269. 3 There are passages in the Nikāyas, in which it is said that "vimokkhe kāyena phassitvā viharati" (Aṅguttara, II, 90). The Vimokkhas do not refer to Nibbāna but to the eight meditations (Dīgha, III, pp. 261-2) or to the three Samādhis called Animitta, Appaṇihita, and Suññata vimokkhas (Vis. M., p. 658). These refer only to experiences of meditating saints felt within themselves and not by coming into contact with something external.
