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

Hint:

Remember the Vikshepa Sahabhuvah: \[ \text{Dukha} \] \[ \text{Daurmanasya} \] \[ \text{Angamejayatva} \] \[ \text{Shwasa-Prashwasa} \] These are the symptoms accompanying mental distraction in Yoga Sutra.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: In the Patanjali Yoga Sutra, Vikshepa refers to mental distraction or disturbance that obstructs concentration and meditation. Along with the primary obstacles (Antarayas), Patanjali also describes accompanying symptoms known as Vikshepa Sahabhuvah. The relevant Yoga Sutra states: \[ \textit{Duḥkha-daurmanasya-aṅgamejayatva-śvāsa-praśvāsā vikṣepa-sahabhuvaḥ} \] These are the conditions accompanying mental distraction.

Step 1: Recall the Vikshepa Sahabhuvah mentioned in Yoga Sutra.
The accompanying symptoms are:
• Dukha (Sorrow or pain)
• Daurmanasya (Depression or despair)
• Angamejayatva (Trembling or instability of body)
• Shwasa-Prashwasa (Irregular breathing)

Step 2: Identify which options belong to Vikshepa Sahabhu.
Augmejayatva
This refers to Angamejayatva (bodily instability). \[ \Rightarrow \text{Included} \] Dukha
Pain or suffering is directly mentioned. \[ \Rightarrow \text{Included} \] Prashwas
Part of Shwasa-Prashwasa (disturbed breathing). \[ \Rightarrow \text{Included} \]

Step 3: Analyze the remaining options.
Vyadhi
Vyadhi is an Antaraya (obstacle), not a Vikshepa Sahabhu. \[ \Rightarrow \text{Not included} \] Haan
Haan is not listed among the Vikshepa Sahabhuvah. \[ \Rightarrow \text{Not included} \]

Step 4: Select the correct combination.
The correct combination is: \[ B, C, E \] Thus: \[ \boxed{B, C, E \text{ Only}} \]

Step 5: Identify the correct option.
The option matching the correct combination is: \[ \boxed{\text{B, C, E Only}} \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(D)} \]
