Match the following vṛttis of the Citta and mark the correct code :
| I | II |
|---|---|
| (i) Kṣipta | (a) One-pointed |
| (ii) Pramūḍha | (b) Ignorant |
| (iii) Vikṣipta | (c) Unsteady |
| (iv) Ekāgra | (d) Wild |
Answer: A
The match is i-d, ii-b, iii-c, iv-a.
In the Yoga tradition (Vyāsa on the Yoga Sūtra) the mind has five levels (bhūmis). Kṣipta is the restless, wild mind dominated by rajas; mūḍha is the dull, ignorant mind dominated by tamas; vikṣipta is the distracted, unsteady mind, occasionally steady; and ekāgra is the one-pointed mind fixed on a single object. The fifth, niruddha, is the fully restrained mind.
Every other code mismatches at least one pair, for example calling kṣipta unsteady or ekāgra wild.
