Sūta said: The yogic Siddhi āpya (pertaining to the water) is sixteen: (1) He can stay under water as long as he wills; (2) he can come out of water whenever he wills; (3) he can drink up even the ocean and be none the worse for it; (4) he can let the water spring up wherever he wills; (5) whatever he wishes to eat he can transform it into tasty substance; (6) he can hold body with only three elements, viz. fire, air and ether; (7) He can hold a mass of water by the bare hands without any container; (8) he can have a body free from cuts and wounds. These eight powers together with the eight qualities of the earth constitute aiśvarya pertaining to the water.
