Transcriber’s Notes

have not been modified.

Page 1018, section 36: before blazing -> blazing before
Page 1065, section 11: you that -> that you
Page 1081, section 37: guána -> jnána

The spelling of Sanskrit words are normalized to some extent, including
correct/addition of accents where necessary. Note that the author uses
á, í, ú to indicate long vowels. This notation has not been changed.
The LPP edition (1999) which has been scanned for this ebook, is of
poor quality, and in some cases text was missing. Where possible, the
missing/unclear text has been supplied from another edition, which has
the same typographical basis (both editions are photographical reprints
of the same source, or perhaps one is a copy of the other): Bharatiya
Publishing House, Delhi 1978.
A third edition, Parimal Publications, Delhi 1998, which is based on an
OCR scanning of the same typographical basis, has also been consulted.
The term “Gloss.” or “Glossary” probably refers to the extensive
classical commentary to Yoga Vásishtha by Ananda Bodhendra Saraswati
(only available in Sanskrit).
These shortcomings of the LPP ed. were corrected:
Page i: page reference for Quiescence of Uddálaka was corrected from 992 to 983.
Pages 1035 and 1037 in the printed book were exchanged and have been transcribed
in their correct places.
Page 1125: verse 19 missing (the printed book has a blank page here).
