Muslim Interpreters of Yoga This article describes the principal currents in the tradition of writings on yoga by Muslim authors, starting with the earliest Persian text on yoginis and breath control (the Kamru Pancasika) and then delineating the different versions of the text known as The Pool of Nectar (Amrtakunda) in Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and Urdu. Particular attention is paid to the Persian version of The Pool of Nectar, translated by Muhammad Ghawth Gwaliyari under the title Bahr alhayat or The Ocean of Life, because of the importance of its miniature illustrations of yogic postures
