¹ These are the well-known eight steps of classical Yoga. The Upaniṣad, however, presents allegorical meanings of them. The LAU probably is not an independent text, for it consists of a few verses drawn from the mantra section (*mantrabhāga*) of the *Triśikhibrāhmaṇa Upaniṣad*, 27–32, 163–166 (published in *The Yoga Upaniṣads*, ed. Pandit A. Mahadeva Sastri. [Madras: The Adyar Library and Research Centre, 1920]). See Sprockhoff 1976, 249, n. 1.
