Quote from Gabby's list here (thank you Gabby!)
www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum35/HTML/000313-4.htmlVibhuti can refer to glorious attributes of the divine, and in this context is translated as 'all pervading', 'superhuman power', 'wealth' and so on.
Vibhuti (powers) can refer to paranormal powers that some believe can be developed by yoga practices.
