Hint:

Important Samyama results in Yoga Sutra: \[ \text{Sun} \rightarrow \text{Knowledge of worlds} \] \[ \text{Moon} \rightarrow \text{Knowledge of stars} \] \[ \text{Navel Chakra} \rightarrow \text{Knowledge of body structure} \] \[ \text{Maitri} \rightarrow \text{Strength} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: In the Vibhuti Pada of the Patanjali Yoga Sutra, Patanjali explains that performing Samyama (combined Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi) on specific objects produces particular forms of knowledge or powers (Siddhis). Different objects of concentration yield different attainments.

Step 1: Match “Focus on Maitri.”
Patanjali states that by concentrating on Maitri and related virtues: \[ \text{Strength (Bala)} \] is attained. Thus: \[ A \rightarrow II \]

Step 2: Match “Focus on Sun.”
Concentration on the Sun gives: \[ \text{Knowledge of worlds (Bhuvanajñāna)} \] Thus: \[ B \rightarrow III \]

Step 3: Match “Focus on Moon.”
Concentration on the Moon gives: \[ \text{Knowledge of arrangement of stars (Tāravyūhajñāna)} \] Thus: \[ C \rightarrow IV \]

Step 4: Match “Focus on Navel Chakra.”
Concentration on the Navel Chakra produces: \[ \text{Knowledge of body arrangement (Kāyavyūhajñāna)} \] Thus: \[ D \rightarrow I \]

Step 5: Write the final matching.
The correct matching is: \[ A \rightarrow II \] \[ B \rightarrow III \] \[ C \rightarrow IV \] \[ D \rightarrow I \] Therefore: \[ \boxed{\text{A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I}} \]

Step 6: Identify the correct option.
The option matching the correct sequence is: \[ \boxed{\text{A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I}} \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(A)} \]
