A form of Yoga that is said to consist in the mingling of some of the air supposed to exist in every animal body. These airs are five: Prana, Apana, Samana, Udana, and Vyana. The 8 Vasus, the 11 Rudras, the 12 Adityas, Prajapati, and Vashatkara. An order of celestials. Celestial flowers of much fragrance. The ascetic properties are Anima, Laghima, etc.
Brahman's night also, O king, is of the same measure. When Brahman himself is destroyed, Sambhu of formless soul and to whom the Yuga attributes of Anima, Laghima, &c, naturally inhere, awakes, and once more creates that First or Eldest of all creatures, possessed of vast proportions, of infinite deeds, endued with form, and identifiable with the universe.
Valhika, therefore, was the grand-father-in-law of the lady mentioned by Gandhari. The puissance here referred to is that of Anima, Laghima, etc. i.e., the capacity of becoming minute and subtile, etc. The sense is that those had been incarnated as human beings and fighting with one another met with death as regards their human existence.
The incomparable Mahat-soul or Universe is then swallowed up by Sambhu, that Lord of all things, to whom the Yoga attributes of Anima, Laghima, Prapti, etc., naturally inhere, who is regarded as the Supreme and pure Effulgence that is Immutable. His hands and feet extend over every part; his eyes and head and face are everywhere, his ears reach every place, and he exists overwhelming all things.
