  • 3.24. By control over the primal factor comes knowledge of hidden, subtle and the distant. By Samayama concentration in regard to benevolence, tenderness, complacency, and disinterestedness, the ascetic is able to acquire the friendship of whomsoever he may desire. By Samyama on the strength of elephants and other such animals, their strength is obtained.
