Preshya Yoga (Sanskrit: प्रेष्य योग) means a servant. A person born with ''Preshya yoga'' is poor, unhappy and uneducated. He hears harsh words from others and works in slavery throughout his life. ==Vedic usage== In Aitareya Brahmana, the term ''preshya'' occurs in the sense of a menial servant,Śudra or a slave employed for being sent on an errand. In Pali texts of Buddhists, ''preshya'' is referred to in its prakritic forms – ''pessa'' or ''pesiya'' meaning - a messenger or a servant in general. However, in early literature there is hardly any elucidation regarding the nature of job, their person, or mode of dressing etc., that is available. Bharuchi (600-650 A.D.) in his commentary on Manu states that ''preshya'' were a servile class different from the four types of slaves. Bhattoji Dikshita states (Siddhahta Haumadi Ch.XIV.621) : :प्रेष्यब्रुवोर्हविषो देवतसंप्रदाने that "the object of the verb ''preshya'' and ''bruhi'' (imperative singular of ''Divadi'' verb, meaning send or utter) denoting sacrifial food, takes the sixth case-affix, when making offerings to deity is meant or when the deity is the recipient " (Shatapatha Brahmana I.5.3.8). Valmiki states (Ramayana Sundar Kanda 39.39): :अहं तावदिह प्राप्तः किं पुनस्ते महाबल | :नहि प्रकृष्टाः प्रेष्यन्ते प्र्ष्यन्ते हीतरे जनाः || that honourable people are never asked to work as ''preshyas''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Preshya yoga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
