Summary
[edit]Description12th-century Yogasastra, Hemachandra Jainism, Sanskrit, 1 mm Devanagari script.jpg |
English: This Jain text Yogasastra manuscript survives in an incomplete form, as its last 8 chapters. The complete version has 12 chapters and was authored by the Jain monk Hemachandra of the Svetambara tradition within Jainism. The text is in Sanskrit. The text is notable for its 1 mm size Devanagari script. Even more miniaturized Devanagari and South Indian scripts were written by Indians, some of which are preserved in the Saraswathi Mahal Library in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu.
This yoga text follows the style of earlier Buddhist and Hindu yoga texts. It also teaches breath exercises, meditation, and ethics, but is set in Jain theology and divination framework. Cecil Bendall purchased this manuscript in February 1885 in Bombay. The manuscript is now preserved as MS Add.2277 at the Cambridge University LIbrary.
