प्रण्य श्री-गरुु ं नाथं स्वात्ममारामेण योचगना । केवलं राि-योगाय हठ-ववद्योपददश्यते ॥१.२॥
Hathayogapradipika 1.2: Prostrating first to the guru, Yogi Swatmarama instructs the knowledge of hatha yoga ”only for raja yoga”, the highest state of yoga.
भ्रारत्मया बहुमत-ध्वारते राि-योगमिानताम् । हठ-प्रदीवपकां धत्ते स्वात्ममारामः कृपाकरः ॥ १.३॥
Hathayogapradipika 1.3: The highest state of raja yoga is unknown due to misconceptions (darkness)
created by varying ideas and concepts. In good will and as a blessing, Swatmarama offers light on hathayoga.
हठं ववना राियोगो राि-योगं ववना हठः ।
न शसध्यतत ततो यग्ु ममातनष्पत्तेः समभ्यसेत् ॥२.७६॥
Hathayogapradipika 2.76: There can be no perfection if hatha yoga is without raja yoga or raja yoga without hatha yoga. Therefore, through practice of both, perfection is attained.
