Oṃ. Thus in the glorious Śiva-mahāpurāṇa, in the seventh (part), in the Vāyavīya-saṃhitā, in the latter section, (ends) the thirty-eighth chapter, named the description of the arising of obstacles in the course of yoga. Chapter 39. Upamanyu said: Thinking that for those who remember Śrīkaṇṭhanātha all the accomplishments of every aim at once succeed, some yogins meditate upon him alone.
