Yoga Sutra 3.27 samyama on the moon

Sūtra III.27

(From saṃyama) on the moon, knowledge of the dispositions of the stars

If he makes it on the moon, he will apprehend the dispositions of the stars.

(From saṃyama) on the moon, knowledge of the dispositions of the stars. Having come to know the extent of the worlds from saṃyama on the sun, If he then immediately makes it on the moon, he will apprehend the dispositions of the stars. From the sun-saṃyama the knowledge obtained is only of the extent of the worlds – the worlds and rivers and oceans and mountains spread out as described. But how the stars are disposed is not within its range. From the moon-saṃyama, however, there is understanding of the various dispositions of the stars.
