| 抄録 | The notion of extraordinary ‘powers’, usually translated with such Sanskrit terms as ‘siddhi-s’ ‘jñāna-s’, or ‘aiśvarya-s’ (in Pātañjala Yoga and Sāṃkhya texts), ‘vibhūti-s’ or ‘bala-s’ (in Hindu epic and Purāṇic texts), ‘iddhi-s’, ‘ṛddhi-s’, or ‘abhijñā-s” ’ (in Pali and Mahāyāna Buddhist Sanskrit texts), ‘labdhi-s’ (in Jain texts), and ‘guṇāṣṭaka-s’ (in Haṭhayoga and Tantric Śaiva textual environments) is the focus of this fascinating collection of essays edited by Knut A.

Sarbacker, Christopher K. Chapple, and Lloyd W.
