Vratisasana
The combined total of Yama and Niyama vows, numbering ten, called the ten virtues, protection of which determines the fate of the viku's sacred implements.
In the end, they are called the *daśaśīla* (ten virtues).
Let it not fail to be known by the *viku*, the one who desires to know the five precepts and the ten virtues.
Vrhaspatitattva
The ten virtues (five yama and five niyama) that protect the master of yoga during samādhi: non-violence, chastity, truthfulness, non-worldliness, non-stealing, non-anger, service to the guru, purity, lightness of food, and non-heedlessness.
The means is the path of yoga, with the *daśaśīla* as its foundation.
> *Ahiṃsā*, *brahmacarya*, and *satya*, non-worldliness, > and non-stealing—these five are the restraints (*yama*) spoken by Rudra.
> Non-anger, service to the guru, purity, lightness of food, > and non-heedlessness—these five are declared the observances (*niyama*).
