Description:The Yogasūtra of Patañjali with its oldest commentary, the so- called Yogabhāùya, is one of the most widely read or, at least, one of the most often copied texts in the field of classical Indian Philosophy. I have been able to trace thirty-seven printed editions published from 1874 to 1992 and eighty-two MSS in public libraries in India, Nepal, Pakistan, Europe and the USA.Not only do these high numbers indicate the popularity of these texts—for which, in accordance with the information provided by the colophons, I use the title Pātañjalayogaśāstra (PYŚ) whenever I refer to them collectively—but also the fact that the PYŚ became the subject of at least three subcommentaries. The most famous, without doubt, is the Yogasūtrabhāùyavyākhyā or Tattvavaiśāradī (TVś) of Vācaspatimiśra I, who must have lived at some time between 890 and 984/985 AD. Although the exact dating of the PYŚ is not conclusively determined, a considerable gap of time and substantial differences in philosophical views clearly separates Vācaspati from the author(s) Excerpted from From Vasubandhu to Caitanya.
