Yogavārttika

By Swami Harshananda

On the Yogasutras of Patañjali^[1] there is an ancient and original commentary known as the Vyāsabhāsya by Vyāsa. On this, there are two well-known glosses:

The Tattvavaiśāradl of Vācaspati Miśra^[2]
The Yogavārttika of Vijñānabhikṣu^[3]

The Yogavārttika is a lucid explanation of the Vyāsabhāsya. However it differs from the views given in the Tattvavaiśāradi. Vijñānabhikṣu seems more inclined towards bringing the Sāñkhya-yoga philosophy nearer to the traditional Vedānta.
