Śivasaṃhitā 3.115

The verse promises sarvasiddhi—the totality of perfections—as a natural fruit (prajāyate, ‘is born’, ‘arises’) of constant practice. The word abhyāsaśīla describes not merely someone who practices, but one who has made abhyāsa a character trait, a habitual disposition of being. The result is not obtained; it is organically generated.

Sarvasiddhi is a karmadhāraya compound joining sarva (all, complete) with siddhi (perfection, supernatural power, attainment). In Tantric and haṭhayogic literature, siddhis encompass both extraordinary powers (vibhūti) and final liberation. Abhyāsaśīla combines abhyāsa (repeated practice, sustained effort) with śīla (character, moral habit), suggesting that practice must be internalized until it becomes one’s very nature.

The claim that all perfections arise from a single āsana practiced with constancy is characteristic of haṭhayogic textual rhetoric, which frequently attributes total benefits to specific techniques. Read in context, this hyperbole functions as motivation for the student and as a signal of this posture’s centrality within the Śivasaṃhitā’s system.
