One should learn pecial instructions regarding the items of Yama and Niyama from an ácárya/á. The potentiality of an ideal humanity is inherent in Yama and Niyama. Those who are established in Yama and Niyama attain emancipation from the aśt́apásha and śad́aripu arising from Avidyá [the extroversial force].
