While studying the etymology of the word yogi in India I found difficulty to
encounter it in the Buddhist canon.

Could just find the following passage:



Yogavacaro pancindriyani avikkhepe patitthapeti,...(patisambhida.
1.4.4.17.62)



What would this sentence means?



In the Hinduism an yogi would be one that has achieved the yoga, or the
union between the individual self and the universal self, as to say just one
of the meanings of the word regarding the different darsanas
(schools-systems) of Hinduism.

Thus the word is used in the pali canon? If yes, in wich way?



With regards, Gabriel.
