Yogavārttika

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

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:

  1. The Tattvavaiśāradl of Vācaspati Miśra[2]
  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.
