Patanjali Yoga Sutra III – 46


Ashtama Siddhis


Tataha Animaadi Pradurbavaha Kaya Sampattad Dharmanabhigathascha|

With mastery over the five elements and their subtle elements, the yogi gains the famous Ashta Maha Siddhis of Anima – becoming small like an atom, Laghima – light as a feather, Mahima – huge, Garima – heavy, Prapti – reaching wherever one wants, Prakamya or complete fulfilment of desires, Ishithwa or Lordship over everything and Vashithwa – control over objects and people. The body also becomes healthy and all parts of the body and mind function smoothly without any conflicting interferences. - SS
