(Ṣaṭkarma) A Sanskrit compound where sat means “six” and in this context karma refers to the work that the aspirant undertakes for self-purification under niyama, the second “limb” in RAJA YOGA which is concerned with positive virtues. This term may also be encountered in some schools of HATHA YOGA where it has substantially the same meaning.
