• ... that the Hindu text Yogatattva Upanishad states in yoga (pictured), that of the ten restraints, moderate food is most important, and of the ten observances, non-violence is most important?

• ALT1:... that Vishnu states in the Yogatattva Upanishad (pictured a yogasana) that all souls are snared in the cycle of worldly pleasures and sorrow of maya, and yoga frees one from this cycle?
• ALT2:... that the Yogatattva Upanishad expounds the Vedanta philosophy of Hinduism, stating that both yoga (pictured) and knowledge are essential for moksha (liberation and freedom)?

5x expanded by Nvvchar (talk) and Ms Sarah Welch (talk). Nominated by Nvvchar (talk) at 07:55, 27 December 2015 (UTC).

1. Y Expanded from 85 words to 1150 words "readable prose size" on December 24, 2015
2. Y Long enough 7170 characters on Dec. 24 > 1500
3. Y Within policy.
   • The article encyclopedically describes the contents of the Yogatattva Upanishad text, which includes what critics might call supernatural powers or psuedoscientific or spiritual benefits, but, appropriately, does not cite skeptical points of view here. Other, much broader articles on the Hindu religion are the appropriate place to address controversies and criticisms. This article is well-focused on the text that is the subject of the article, without getting sidetracked.
   • No evidence of copyvio, plagiarism, close paraphrasing
   • Formatting, style, footnoting, etc are all to a much higher standard than necessary for DYK. Probably near GA quality.
4. Y Hook, AL1, ALT2: Accept AGF. Most of the books are offline, but I reviewed some other online sources, and those linked to, and the gist of the hooks and the overall article content appear verifiable. Hooks interesting; I probably like the first one best but they're all good. No BLP issues.
5. Y QPQ done
6. Y All 3 images are free of copyright problems.

Good to go.

• Suggestion: Yogatattva Upanishad is a very in-depth, relatively narrow part of a much broader subject, and probably shouldn't be the first article anybody reads on Yoga and Hinduism. Incorporating {{Hinduism small}} would help guide novices into broader topics, and give the necessary context and background. On the other hand, the navboxes at the bottom serve this purpose as well, so another at the top is not vital. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:25, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
