Yoga Sutra 3.36 supernormal knowledge

Sūtra III.36

From that arise supernormal knowledge and hearing, touch, sight, taste, and awareness of events

From supernormal knowledge (prātibha) arises knowledge of what is subtle, hidden, or remote, in the past or future. From supernormal hearing comes hearing of divine sounds: from supernormal touch, he experiences touch of the perfect ones and others. From supernormal sight he perceives divine forms. From supernormal taste he experiences divine savours. From supernormal awareness of events (vārtā), he discovers the truth about worldly matters as they are.

From that from samādhi (samādhāna) on what-exists-for-its-own-sake arise supernormal knowledge (prātibha) and hearing, touch, sight, taste, and awareness of events. From prātibha supernormal knowledge from the knowledge in the mind coming out of saṃyama on the self, comes knowledge of what is subtle, hidden or remote, in the past or future. From supernormal hearing comes hearing of divine sounds: from supernormal touch tactile awareness, touch of the perfect ones and others. From supernormal sight visual knowledge he perceives divine forms; from supernormal taste knowledge of that sense he experiences divine savours. From supernormal awareness of events (vārtā) with which he is concerned, comes knowledge of matters in the world, and from this he discovers the truth about worldly matters as they are.
