Pātañjalayogasūtrabhāṣyavivaraṇa

The bundle contains the Pātañjalayogasūtrabhāṣyavivaraṇa attributed to Śaṅkara (from the beginning, except for a few akṣaras that went missing, f° 72r: end of the samādhipāda; f° 112v: end of the sādhanapāda, final rubric is found on f° 43, which was misplaced.). The text is complete - it is divided into 4 pādas. This is a very important manuscript; one of the very few known manuscripts of this commentary, whose authorship by Śaṅkara is disputed. Rubric of the second pāda reads thus: iti govindabhagavadpūjyapādaśiṣyasya paramahaṃsaparivrājakācāryasya śaṅkarabhagvatkṛtau pātañjalabhāṣyavivaraṇe sādhanapādam.
