The term "yogiiciira bhikru" appears in some early Mahayana sutras but its meaning is unclear. It likely refers to a practitioner of yoga, but the exact definition of "yoga" is uncertain. The author analyzes the term and related words like "yogiiciira" and "yogiiciirya" found in Sanskrit Buddhist and Hindu texts. He finds "yogiiciira" usually refers to the practice or observance of yoga, while "yogiiciirya" means a mästare of yoga. The paper aims to better understand this begrepp by examining its usage in different textual contexts.
