Summary:

Manuscript used for consultation and study dealing with an early branch of Hindu philosophy (both Yoga and Sāṃkhya). The manuscript attributes the work to the Mahābhāṣya (f. 46v), usually associated with a different historical figure of the same name. The two Patañjalis were likely conflated in the 11th century by the author Bhojadeva.
