Summary: The English translation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (500 BCE), including Vyasa’s commentary called the Sankhya Pravachana (7th century) or Yogabhashya; and the gloss by Vachaspati Mishra (9th century) called the Tattvavaisaradi. The Yogasutra is a collection of aphorisms dealing with Samadhi (meditative absorption), Sadhana (Yoga practice), Vibhuti (powers or Siddhis), Kaivaly (isolation) and Moksha (liberation).
