الحكم
ليست في أعمال Patañjali
It is the line most often quoted under his name on English quotation sites, but it corresponds to no aphorism of the Yogasūtra nor to any passage of the commentary: it does not appear in the complete translations of Woods or Bryant, and its vocabulary ("project", "great person") belongs to modern self-help literature. Its first appearance has not been traced.
