Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchThe Bondage of Lust is denoted by the Sanskrit term Kāma-Bandhana [kāmakrodhādibandhanam], according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] As soon as the no-mind [state arises,] the bondage of lust (kāmabandhana), anger and [other such snares] is immediately destroyed. When the [rigid] pillar of mental faculties has ceased [to exist], the bodily abode becomes loose [and collapses]. [...]”.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
