सिद्धिः is explicitly rejected because it names the eight classical yogic supernatural attainments (aṣṭasiddhi: aṇimā, mahimā, and others) systematically catalogued in Yoga Sūtra chapter 3 as by-products of advanced yogic mastery — powers earned through disciplined practice, not enablements freely given by the Spirit.
