In the third stage- "ekendriya" a spiritual practitioner gains control over some single propensity or organ and that brings to him a corresponding occult power or Aeshvarya.<ref name="Yatamána, Vyatireka, Ekendriya and Vashiikára" /> | ||
Aeshvarya is also known as Vibhuti. As these powers are confined to Parama Purusa, these are also called Vibhuti garima (not "garima" alone).<ref name="Disembodied Souls and Microvita – Excerpt B">{{cite book|title=Microvitum in a Nutshell|author=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti|chapter=Disembodied Souls and Microvita – Excerpt B}}</ref> The source of the word Vibhuti is: Vi – bhú + ktin, which means "to be established in a special condition or state or quality".<ref name="Aekya to Aekśava">{{cite book|title=Shabda Cayaniká Part 2|author=Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar|chapter=Aekya to Aekśava}}</ref> The eight powers together are called "Asta Aeshvarya". | |||

# '''Prapti:''' Prapti is the ability to obtain any desired object. Human mind desire for many things, but fails to achieve most of the desired things. They are also unsure about the things they wish for. Poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote— ''যাহা চাই তাহা ভুল করে চাই, যাহা পাই তাহা চাই না'' (Whatever I want, I misguidedly want. What I get, I get without wanting it). On the other hand, Parama Purusa is aware of the needs of each and every being. He wants nothing for Himself. He only tries to give to the world. He provides jiivas with everything according to their necessity. He provides these things either directly, or indirectly through other jiivas.<ref name="Párthasárathi Krśńa and Bhaktitattva" /> | # '''Prapti:''' Prapti is the ability to obtain any desired object.

# '''Vashitva:''' Vashitva means to keep everything under control. If the horses are not kept under proper control – the human mind can be compared to a team of horses – if there is no rein, they may run amok and will be the cause of one’s downfall. So everything has to be regulated and controlled. <ref name="Párthasárathi Krśńa and Bhaktitattva" /> | # '''Vashitva:''' Vashitva means to keep everything under control.

# | # '''Prakamya''' or '''Kamavasayita''', Prakamya or Kamavasayita is the ability to materialize the desired outcome of events. Whatever Parama Purusa wants is accomplished. Things take shape according to Parama Purusa's wish. Everything in this world, from smallest atoms to largest stars start rushing to translate His wish into reality. This is prakamya. In a Bengali song it has been illustrated likewise: কী হবে ইচ্ছায় ইচ্ছাতে কী হয়, কৃষ্ণ ইচ্ছা বিনা ফল ফলে না (Translation: What is there in a desire? A desire cannot implement itself. Nothing can take place without the desire of [[Krsna]])<ref name="Párthasárathi Krśńa and Bhaktitattva" /><ref name="Every Word Is Meaningful">{{cite book|title=Ánanda Vacanámrtam Part 34|author=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti|chapter=Every Word Is Meaningful}}</ref> | ||
