The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali are 196 Indian sutras (aphorisms) that constitute the foundational text of Ashtanga Yoga, also called Raja Yoga. In medieval times, Ashtanga Yoga was cast as one of the six orthodox astika schools of Hindu philosophy.

The Yoga Sutras were compiled around 400 BCE by Patañjali, taking materials about yoga from older traditions. Together with his commentary they form the Patañjalayogasastra.
