Mbh.3.90.4893	In that spot are the celestial Rishis, the Siddhas, and, indeed, all the Rishis, where dwelleth the slayer of Madhu, that primeval Deity and mighty Yogin!
Mbh.5.38.1999	He that never giveth way to anger, he that is above grief, he that is no longer in need of friendship and quarrels, he that disregardeth both praise and blame, and he that standeth aloof from both what is agreeable and disagreeable, like one perfectly withdrawn from the world, is a real Yogin of the Bhikshu order.
Mbh.5.42.2309	Wherever, again, food and drink worthy of a Brahmana are abundant, like grass and reeds in a spot during the rainy season, there should the Yogin seek for his livelihood without afflicting the householder of scanty means; by no means should he afflict his own self by hunger and thirst.
Mbh.5.45.2530	In consequence of his ability to grasp that Truth Brahman from which sacrifices flow, the Yogin is capable of performing sacrifices by the mind.
Mbh.6.66.3642	People speak of him as one labouring under darkness who disregardeth Vasudeva, that Yogin of illustrious soul, for his entering into a human form.
Mbh.12.26.1169	Unto the Yogin who has controlled wrath and joy, contentment is his high praise and success.
Mbh.12.235.14567	The Yogin observing proper vows and restraints, practises in all seven kinds of Dharana.
Mbh.12.235.14569	Through these the Yogin gradually acquires mastery over Earth, Wind, Space, Water, Fire, Consciousness, and Understanding.
Mbh.12.235.14573	The Yogin, that abandons his gross body, following the instructions of his preceptor, beholds his soul displaying the following forms in consequence of its subtility.
Mbh.12.235.14577	For, then, the Yogin beholds within himself, in the firmament of his heart, the form of Water.
Mbh.12.235.14583	That Yogin who has been able to achieve the conquest of the earth-element, attains by such lordship to the power of Creation.
Mbh.12.235.14587	The Yogin, who has achieved the lordship of Space, can exist brightly in Space in consequence of his having attained to uniformity with that element, and can also disappear at will.
Mbh.12.235.14589	By lordship over Fire, the Yogin becomes so effulgent that his form cannot be looked at.
Mbh.12.235.14591	When the Understanding, which is the soul of the five elements and of the consciousness of individuality is conquered the Yogin attains to Omnipotence, and perfect Knowledge or perception freed from doubt and uncertainty with respect to all things, comes to him.
Mbh.12.235.14606	That Yogin who is freed from attachment and pride, who transcends all pairs of opposites, such as pleasure and pain, heat and cold, etc,
Mbh.12.235.14608	That person who cherishes no desire for earthly objects, who is not unwilling to take what comes, who is dependent on earthly objects to only that extent which is necessary for sustaining life, who is free from cupidity, who has driven off all grief, who has restrained his senses, who goes through all necessary acts, who is regardless of personal appearance and attire, whose senses are all collected for devotion to the true objects of life, whose purposes are never left, unaccomplished who bears himself with equal friendliness towards all creatures, who regards a clod of earth and a lump of gold with an equal eye, who is equally disposed towards friend and foe, who is possessed of patience, who takes praise and blame equally who is free from longing with respect to all objects of desire, who practises Brahmacharya, and who is firm and steady in all his vows and observances, who has no malice or envy for any creature in the universe, is a Yogin who according to the Sankhya system succeeds in winning Emancipation.
Mbh.12.239.14804	The mind in the first instance should be sought to be restrained by the Yogin after the manner of a fisherman seeking at the outset to render that one among the fish powerless from which there is the greatest danger to his nets.
Mbh.12.239.14805	Having first subdued the mind, the Yogin should then proceed to subdue his ears, then his eyes, then his tongue, and then his nose.
Mbh.12.239.14813	Engaged in the observance of austere vows, the Yogin who conducts himself thus for six months, seated by himself on an isolated spot, succeeds in attaining to an equality with the Indestructible
Mbh.12.239.14814	Annihilation, extension, power to present varied aspects in the same person or body, celestial scents, and sounds, and sights, the most agreeable sensations of taste and touch, pleasurable sensations of coolness and warmth, equality with the wind, capability of understanding by inward light the meaning of scriptures and every work of genius, companionship of celestial damsels, acquiring all these by Yoga the Yogin should disregard them and merge them all in the knowledge
Mbh.12.239.14820	With the senses and the mind withdrawn from everything else, the Yogin for practice should betake himself to empty caves of mountains, to temples consecrated to the deities, and to empty houses or apartments, for living there.
Mbh.12.239.14822	Disregarding all things, and eating very abstemiously, the Yogin should look with an equal eye upon objects acquired or lost.
Mbh.12.239.14828	Beholding all men afflicted with anxiety on account of earning wealth and comfort, the Yogin should view a clod of earth, a piece of stone, and a lump of gold with an equal eye.
Mbh.12.245.15129	Merging the senses having the mind for their sixth and all the objects of the senses into the inner Soul by the aid of the Understanding, and reflecting upon the three states of consciousness, viz, the object thought, the act of thinking, and the thinker, and abstaining by contemplation from every kind of enjoyment, equipping his mind with the knowledge that he is Brahma's self, laying aside at the same time all consciousness of puissance, and thereby making his soul perfectly tranquil, the Yogin obtains that to which immortality inheres.
Mbh.12.245.15133	By purifying his heart, the Yogin transcends both righteousness and its reverse.
Mbh.12.245.15136	The Yogin who has attained to that state lives like the steady flame of a lamp that burns in a place where the atmosphere is perfectly still.
Mbh.12.245.15137	Becoming abstemious in diet, and having cleansed his heart, that Yogin who applies his Soul to the Soul succeeds in beholding the Soul in the Soul
Mbh.12.247.15238	As an aquatic fowl, though moving on the water, is never drenched by that element, after the same manner the Yogin of freed soul is never soiled by the imperfections of the three attributes of Sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas.
Mbh.12.250.15370	Like the Sun dispelling darkness, felicity dispels the sorrows of that Yogin who transcends both the gross and the subtile elements, as also Mahat and the Unmanifest
Mbh.12.250.15372	Indeed, when the Yogin, freed from everything, lives in a state transcending both attachment and aversion, he is said to transcend even in this life his senses and all their objects.
Mbh.12.250.15373	That Yogin, who having transcended Prakriti attains to the Highest Cause, becomes freed from the obligation of a return to the world in consequence of his having attained to that which is the highest
Mbh.12.252.15401	As the effulgent disc of the Sun is beheld in the water in a counter-image, after the same manner the Yogin beholds within gross bodies the existent self in its counter-image
Mbh.12.279.17175	As regards that Yogin who is unable to abandon the felicities that Yoga-puissance brings about, he has to dwell in one and the same body for one century of Kalpas in auspiciousness and after that in four other regions called Mahar, Jana, Tapas, and Satya.
Mbh.12.279.17177	That Yogin, again, who falls off from Yoga practices after having attained the measure of eminence described already resides in heaven for a century of Kalpas with the, unexhausted remnant of his past acts to be exhausted by enjoyment or endurance as the case may be, and with the seven viz, the five senses of knowledge and mind and understanding purged of all stains in consequence of their predisposition or proneness towards the attribute of Sattwa.
Mbh.12.279.17181	The Yogin who is desirous of final Emancipation suppresses by Yoga-knowledge the seven, and continues to dwell in the world of life, freed from attachments; and taking those seven for certain means of grief, he casts them off and attains afterwards to that state which is Indestructible and Infinite.
Mbh.12.283.17472	Having said these words, that great Yogin saw into the future with eyes of Yoga contemplation.
Mbh.12.290.18240	A Kshatriya bereft of courage, a Brahmana that takes every kind of food, a Vaisya unendued with exertion in respect of agriculture and other moneymaking pursuits, a Sudra that is idle and, therefore, averse to labour, a learned person without good behaviour, one of high birth but destitute of righteous conduct, a Brahmana fallen away from truth, a woman that is unchaste and wicked, a Yogin endued with attachments, one that cooks food for one's own self, an ignorant person employed in making a discourse, a kingdom without a king and a king that cherishes no affection for his subjects and who is destitute of Yoga, these all, O king, are deserving of pity
Mbh.12.300.18808	Even so the Yogin that is weak, O king, meets with ruin when brought in contact with the world and its attachments.
Mbh.12.300.18810	After the same manner, the Yogin, when grown in strength, burning with energy, and possessed of might, is capable of scorching the entire Universe like the Sun that rises at the time of the universal dissolution.
Mbh.12.300.18811	As a weak man, O king, is swept away by a current, even so is a weak Yogin helplessly carried away by objects of the senses.
Mbh.12.300.18813	After the same manner, a Yogin, having acquired Yoga-puissance, withstands all objects of the senses.
Mbh.12.300.18815	Neither Yama, nor the Destroyer, nor Death himself of terrible prowess, when angry, ever succeeds in prevailing over the Yogin, O king, who is possessed of immeasurable energy.
Mbh.12.300.18816	The Yogin, acquiring Yoga-puissance, can create thousands of bodies and with them wander over the earth.
Mbh.12.300.18818	The Yogin, who is possessed of strength and whom bonds bind not, certainly succeeds in attaining to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.300.18822	As a bowman who is heedful and attentive succeeds in striking the aim, even so the Yogin.
Mbh.12.300.18824	As a man fixing his mind on a vessel full of some liquid placed on his head heedfully ascends a flight of steps, even so the Yogin, fixed and absorbed in his soul, cleanses it and makes it as effulgent as the Sun.
Mbh.12.300.18826	As a heedful charioteer, O king, having yoked good steeds unto his car takes the car-warrior to the spot he wishes, even so the Yogin, O monarch, heedful in Dharana, soon attains to the highest spot viz, Emancipation like a shaft let off from the bow reaching the object aimed at.
Mbh.12.300.18827	The Yogin who stays immovably after having entered his self into the soul, destroys his sins and obtains that indestructible spot which is the possession of those that are righteous.
Mbh.12.300.18828	That Yogin who, heedfully observant of high vows, properly unites O king, his Jiva-soul with the subtile Soul in the navel, the throat, the head, the heart, the chest, the sides, the eye, the ear, and the nose, burns all his acts good and bad of even mountain-like proportions, and having recourse to excellent Yoga, attains to Emancipation'
Mbh.12.300.18829	Yudhishthira said, It behoveth thee to tell me, O grandsire, what the kinds of diet are by taking which, and what the things are by conquering which, the Yogin, O Bharata, acquires Yoga-puissance'
Mbh.12.300.18830	Bhishma continued, Engaged, O Bharata, in subsisting upon broken grains of rice and sodden cakes of sesame, and abstaining from oil and butter, the Yogin acquires Yoga-puissance.
Mbh.12.300.18831	By subsisting for a long time on powdered barley unmixed with any liquid substance, and by confining himself to only one meal a day, the Yogin, of cleansed soul, acquires Yoga-puissance.
Mbh.12.300.18832	By drinking only water mixed with milk, first only once during the day, then once during a fortnight, then once during a month, then once during three months, and then once during a whole year, the Yogin acquires Yoga-puissance.
Mbh.12.300.18833	By abstaining entirely from meat, O king, the Yogin of cleansed soul acquires puissance
Mbh.12.300.18844	When Yoga-contemplation becomes disturbed or otherwise obstructed, it can never lead the Yogin to an auspicious end even as a vessel that is without a captain cannot take the passengers to the other shore.
Mbh.12.300.18849	The high-souled Yogin, possessed of greatness, can enter into and come out of, at his will, Brahma himself who is the lord of all deities, and the boon-giving Vishnu, and Bhava, and Dharma, and the six-faced Kartikeya, and the spiritual sons of Brahmana, the quality of Darkness that is productive of much pain, and that of Passion, and that of Sattwa which is pure, and Prakriti which is the highest, and the goddess Siddhi who is the spouse of Varuna, and all kinds of energy, and all enduring patience, and the bright lord of stars in the firmament with the stars twinkling all around, and the Viswas.
Mbh.12.300.18852	The Yogin has Narayana for his soul.
Mbh.12.300.18853	Prevailing over all things through his contemplation of the Supreme deity, the high-souled Yogin is capable of creating all things
Mbh.12.305.19185	That which the Yogin, behold is precisely that which the Sankhyas arrive after to attain.
Mbh.12.306.19240	When persons like ourselves say that there has been a complete identification of the Knower, the Known, and K now-ledge, then is the Yogin said to behold the Supreme Soul
Mbh.12.307.19327	When the Yogin withdraws and merges all the principles into the Unmanifest Soul or Brahma then the twenty-fifth viz, Jiva or Purusha also, with all those principles disappears into it.
Mbh.12.307.19380	Yogin have great regard for that system as also for the Vedas.
Mbh.12.316.19740	As a man of cool courage and determination, while ascending a flight of steps with a vessel full of oil in his hands, does not spill even a drop of the liquid if frightened and threatened by persons armed with weapons even so the Yogin, when his mind has been concentrated and when he beholds the Supreme Soul in Samadhi, does not, in consequence of the entire stoppage of the functions of his senses at such a time, move in the slightest degree.
Mbh.12.316.19741	Even these should be known to be the indication of the Yogin while he is in Samadhi.
Mbh.12.316.19742	While in Samadhi, the Yogin beholds Brahma which is Supreme and Immutable, and which is situated like a blazing Effulgence in the midst of thick Darkness.
Mbh.12.320.20111	For Yogin that is endued with desire, the triple stick is unfit.
Mbh.12.333.21326	The celestial Rishi Narada and the great Yogin Vyasa had repeatedly told all this to me in days of yore when the subject was suggested to him in course of conversation.
Mbh.12.341.22254	He is Yogin of mighty puissance and energy.
Mbh.12.342.22456	Thus solicited, the sage Dadhichi, who was a great Yogin and who regarded happiness and misery in the same light, without being at all cheerless, concentrated his Soul by his Yoga power and cast off his body.
Mbh.13.14.1380	Salutations to thee that hast the Sun, the Moon, and Agni for thy three eyes, to thee that art possessed of a thousand eyes, to thee that art both male and female, to thee that art divested of sex, to thee that art a Sankhya, to thee that art a Yogin.
Mbh.13.17.1773	This hymn relates to him who is the Veda of the Vedas, and the most ancient of all ancient objects, to him who is the energy of all energies, and the penance of all penances; to him who is the most tranquil of all creatures endued with tranquillity, and who is the splendour of all splendours; to him who is looked upon as the most restrained of all creatures that are restrained, and him who is the intelligence of all creatures endued with intelligence; to him who is looked upon as the deity of all deities, and the Rishi of all Rishis; to him who is regarded as the sacrifice of all sacrifices and the most auspicious of all things fraught with auspiciousness; to him who is the Rudra of all Rudras and the effulgence of all things endued with effulgence; to him who is the Yogin of all Yogins, and the cause of all causes; to him from whom all the worlds start into existence, and unto whom all the worlds return when they cease to exist; to him who is the Soul of all existent creatures, and who is called Hara of immeasurable energy.

Mbh.13.17.1994	Thou art he that lives in mountain caves like Jaigishavya, or any other Yogin.
Mbh.13.17.2074	Thou art the Yogin crowned with success like Sanatkumara and others.
Mbh.13.17.2502	Thou art an ocean of penances being as thou art a great Yogin.

Mbh.13.148.12433	As regards Jaya, he is a mighty Yogin resembling the all-destroying Yuga-fire in energy.
Mbh.14.18.614	He that is a Yogin is Emancipated, and is, therefore, distinguished above these viz, the good
Mbh.14.19.657	As one beholds the fibrous pith after extracting it from a blade of the Saccharum Munja, even so the Yogin beholds the soul, extracting it from the body.
