كان ابنُ فَجرَنابها سَغَنا، وابنُه وِدْهْرِتي. ثم وُلِدَ لهِرَنيَنابها، فصار تلميذًا لِجَيمِني وأضحى آچاريا عظيمًا في اليوغا الباطنية. ومن هِرَنيَنابها تعلّم الحكيم ياجْنَفَلْكْيا نظام «أدهياتما-يوغا» السامي، القادر على إرخاء عُقَد التعلّق المادّي في القلب.

Seek authentic guidance through a genuine learning lineage (paramparā) and practice spiritual disciplines that reduce ego-identification and attachment—aimed at inner freedom rather than mere technique.
