Not to be confused with the African Siddi or the Karnataka Siddi Siddhi (Devanagari सिद्धि; IAST: siddhi; Tibetan: དངོས་གྲུབ; Wylie: dngos grub[1]) is a Sanskrit noun that can be translated as "perfection", "accomplishment", "attainment", or "success".[2] The term is first attested in the Mahabharata. In the Pancatantra, a siddhi may be any unusual skill or faculty or capability. As a legal term in the Manusmriti, it refers to the settlement of a debt. In the Samkhya Karika and Tattva Samasa, and hence in Tantric Buddhism, it specifically refers to the acquisition of supernatural powers by magical means or the supposed faculty so acquired. These powers include items such as clairvoyance, levitation, Bilocation, to become as small as an atom, to materialize objects, to have access to memories from past lives, etc. The term is also used in this sense in the Sarva-darśana-saṃgraha of Madhvacharya (1238–1317). In Patanjali's Yoga Sutras IV.1 it is stated (rendered in IAST): janma auṣadhi mantra tapaḥ samādhijāḥ siddhayaḥ where 'janma' (birth), 'auṣadhi' (medicinal plant, herb, drug, incense, elixir), 'mantra' (incantation, charm, spell), 'tapaḥ' (heat, burning, shining, as ascetic devotional practice, burning desire to reach perfection, that which burns all impurities), 'samādhi' (profound meditation, total absorption), 'jāḥ' (born) and 'siddhayaḥ' (perfections, accomplishments, fulfilments, attainments) and is rendered in English by Iyengar (1966, 2002: p. 246) thus: Accomplishments may be attained through birth, the use of herbs, incantations, self-discipline or samadhi.[3] Contents 1 Five Siddhis of Yoga and Meditation 2 Eight Primary Siddhis 3 Ten Secondary Siddhis 4 References 5 Further reading 6 See also // Five Siddhis of Yoga and Meditation In the Bhagavata Purana the Five Siddhis of Yoga and Meditation are described as below: tri-kāla-jñatvam: Knowing the past, present and future; advandvam: Tolerance of heat, cold and other dualities; para citta ādi abhijñatā: Knowing the minds of others and so on; agni arka ambu viṣa ādīnām pratiṣṭambhaḥ: Checking the influence of fire, sun, water, poison, and so on; aparājayah: Remaining unconquered by others;[4] Eight Primary Siddhis Ganesha with the Ashta (8) Siddhis.
