"page" refers
to page no. in Yoga Philosophy of Patanjali, Aranya, 1977
"sutra'
refers to the sutra no. in the original Patanjali Sanskrit
"index"
refers to our taxonomic numbering system of exotic factors
(The "knowledges"
are presumed to be for the most part acquired abilities
on the
way to cosmic consciousness; the "powers" epiphenomenal abilities
which
often prove to be hindrances if indulged in willfully.)
