Le fils de Vajranābha fut Sagaṇa, et son fils fut Vidhṛti. Le fils de Vidhṛti fut Hiraṇyanābha, qui, devenu disciple de Jaimini, s’éleva au rang de grand ācārya du yoga mystique. C’est de Hiraṇyanābha que le grand sage Yājñavalkya apprit l’« ādhyātma-yoga », voie sublime qui dénoue dans le cœur les nœuds de l’attachement matériel.
