Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya

This manuscript preserves a portion of Haribhadra's *Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya*, a seminal 8th-century Jain philosophical treatise that systematically examines yoga from the perspective of multiple philosophical viewpoints (dṛṣṭi). The text sample reveals the work's sophisticated engagement with epistemological concerns, particularly regarding the means of valid cognition (pramāṇa) and the nature of yogic perception accessible to enlightened beings (kevalin). Haribhadra's characteristic methodology of synthesizing diverse doctrinal positions while maintaining Jain orthodoxy is evident in the dense scholastic prose, which addresses the purpose (prayojana), subject matter, and intended audience of the treatise. The manuscript's preservation at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute underscores its significance for understanding medieval Jain intellectual history and the broader Indian philosophical discourse on yoga.
