Question

Sequence wise arrange the Yoga Sutras: \[ \text{A. Tajjyatprajnalokah} \] \[ \text{B. Tasya Bhumishu Viniyogah} \] \[ \text{C. Tadapi Bahirangam Nirbeejasya} \] \[ \text{D. Trayamantarangam Purvebhayah} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. E, B, A, C, D
• B. B, E, D, A, C
• C. A, C, B, D, E
• D. D, A, B, E, C

Hint:

Remember the important Vibhuti Pada sequence: \[ \text{Trayam Antarangam} \rightarrow \text{Taj-jayat Prajna-lokah} \] \[ \rightarrow \text{Tasya Bhumishu Viniyogah} \rightarrow \text{...} \rightarrow \text{Tadapi Bahirangam Nirbeejasya} \] These sutras explain Samyama and higher stages of Yoga.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: These sutras belong to the Vibhuti Pada of the Patanjali Yoga Sutra, where Patanjali explains Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi, and Samyama. The sequence of these sutras is important because each concept develops progressively toward higher yogic realization. The question asks for the proper order in which the sutras appear.

Step 1: Recall the sequence of the sutras.
The relevant order in the Yoga Sutra is: \[ \textit{Trayam antarāṅgam pūrvebhyaḥ} \] (Three inner limbs compared to previous limbs) \[ \textit{Taj-jayāt prajñā-lokaḥ} \] (By mastery of Samyama arises the light of wisdom) \[ \textit{Tasya bhūmiṣu viniyogaḥ} \] (Application of Samyama in stages) \[ \textit{...} \] \[ \textit{Tad api bahirangam nirbijasya} \] (Even these are external compared to Nirbija Samadhi) Thus, the sequence begins: \[ D \rightarrow A \rightarrow B \rightarrow E \rightarrow C \]

Step 2: Match the sequence with the given letters.
\[ D = \text{Trayamantarangam Purvebhayah} \] \[ A = \text{Tajjyatprajnalokah} \] \[ B = \text{Tasya Bhumishu Viniyogah} \] \[ E = \text{(Intermediate sutra in sequence)} \] \[ C = \text{Tadapi Bahirangam Nirbeejasya} \] Therefore, the correct arrangement is: \[ \boxed{D, A, B, E, C} \]

Step 3: Identify the correct option.
The option matching the correct sequence is: \[ \boxed{\text{D, A, B, E, C}} \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(D)} \]
