Laghu Yoga Vāsiṣṭha (The Shorter Yoga Vāsiṣṭha)
लघुयोगवासिष्ठ (Laghuyogavāsiṣṭha)
An abridged version of some six thousand verses that keeps the six books and the principal tales of the Yoga Vāsiṣṭha, and was the most widely read form of the work in many Vedāntic circles. K. Narayanaswami Aiyer translated it into English in 1896.

Authorship note
Abridgement of the Yoga Vāsiṣṭha that tradition ascribes to Gauḍa Abhinanda of Kashmir; its date is debated. It keeps the frame of the dialogue between Vasiṣṭha and Rāma.
