الحكم
ليست في أعمال Patañjali
A Sanskrit verse (yogena cittasya padena vācāṃ…) recited at the start of many yoga classes as if it were an ancient invocation. It is not by Patañjali but in praise of him, and it is late: Meulenbeld places it in a tradition that begins with King Bhoja's commentary (11th c.), the first source to unite the three disciplines in a single person.
