Dvādaśa-prakaraṇam (Kuṇḍalinī) · Verse 17

योगसिद्धिं समासाद्य योगी भवति दीप्तिमान् । तेजस्वी वर्चस्वी चैव सर्वज्ञः सर्वदर्शनः ॥

yogasiddhiṃ samāsādya yogī bhavati dīptimān | tejasvī varcasvī caiva sarvajñaḥ sarvadarśanaḥ ||

Following the promise of fruit, verse 17 describes the transformed state of the yogī who has attained yoga-siddhi. The enumeration of attributes – dīptimān, tejasvī, varcasvī, and sarvajña, sarvadarshana – moves beyond mere metaphorical description and directly correlates with the physiological effects of sustained yogic practice. The term dīptimān – “resplendent” – alludes to the increased luminosity of the nadī system, as prāṇa flows more freely and powerfully through the subtle channels. The tejasvī and varcasvī qualities highlight the radiant energy produced by the heightened prāṇa circulation, a key principle within haṭha yoga aimed at balancing and strengthening the karmasphara. Crucially, sarvajña, meaning “omniscient,” represents the culmination of dhyāna, where the practitioner transcends the limitations of the ego and gains insight into the interconnectedness of all things, a direct manifestation of the ātman.
