Vyasa Bhashya author of Bhasya of Patanjali Yoga Sutras is not Veda Vyasa.

Namaskaram
I want write an assignment for the topic is योगश्चित्तवृत्तीनिरोधः the sutra in yogsutra. And show the comparison in patanjali view, Vyasa bhasya view and vachaspati mishra. I am asking for the help because the person who is teaching this subject is newly appointed and background of political and social philosophy. So he gives some wrong interpretations in the lecture
Thanks and regards 
Ashwini

As Sri Nityanand ji has suggested please read Ganganath Jha's translation of Vyasa Bhashya. That will help is my opinion

Dear Ajitiji,

I understand that Vedavyasa had a guru named Patanjali, who was born more than 5,000 years ago in the Kodar village, of Vajirganj Gonda district of Uttar Pradesh To my understanding, the name Patanjalai  also appears in the Mahabharata.

The chitta has an inherent property of chasing it's object this is called uparaga उपराग.   Man has the ability to restrict this property of the chitta.  In this sutra patanjali is saying that yoga is nothing but the continuous conscious effort to disallow the chitta from chasing it's object.

नमो विद्वद्भ्यः

अथ योगानुससनम् - is the first सूत्रम् 

योग is of two types -- संप्रज्ञात and असंप्रज्ञात ।

योगः चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः --

योग means ' arresting the behavior of mind ' --

mind , by nature , is fickle -- चञ्चलं हि मनः पार्थ ! (भगवद्गीता ) ।

Here the term योग is from the root -- युज = समाधौ (and not युजिर् योगे)

Now Vyasa says - since the qualifier ' सर्व ’ is not prefixed , the definition is applicable to both - संप्रज्ञात and असंप्रज्ञात --

what he means is this --

had Patanjali ruled  -- योगः सर्वचितवृत्तिनिरोधः  then it would have been applicable to असंप्रज्ञातयोग only .

In संप्रज्ञातयोग there will not be सर्वचित्तवृत्तिनिरोध  but in the other it will be .

Here समाधि means वृत्तिनिरोध only  and it is अङ्गी ।

There is a समाधि which is अङ्ग --

यमनियमासनप्राणायामप्रत्याहारधारणाध्यानसमाधयो’ष्टावङ्गानि  2-29


Vyasa also explains that the mind has got three गुणs -

प्रख्याशीलत्वात् सत्त्वगुणम् ( प्रख्या = ज्ञानम् ) , प्रवृत्तिशीलत्वात् रजोगुणम् and स्थितिशीलत्वात् तमोगुणम् ।

In other words - although it is one , it is built with three गुणs and due to the three गुणs , which are hostile to each other , it would have विचित्रपरिणाम ।

A चित्तम् with वैराग्यम्  would arrest all kinds of ख्याति and thus the चित्तम् will be निर्बीज and it is समाधि  and the same is called असंप्रज्ञातयोग by योगिन्s.

Vacaspati explained Vyasa's भाष्यम् ।

It may be suggested that such texts may be studied under a गुरु rather than following translations . Face to face interaction is essential.

It is difficult to cover all the material in such a posting .

धन्यो’स्मि

Respected sir, 
I am very much thankful to you and all those who really really helps me. But sorry for the late reply because from morning I was in lecture.  
My special thanks to Dr. Korada for the accurate analysis. Sir giving mere thanks to you is really  not sufficient..  Your analysis is very much helpful to me.
Thanks and Regards
Ashwini

The relevance is in the sense, that it suggests a possble higher antiquity of Patanjali's Yogasutra, than normally assumed. It is possible that like the three Kalidasas, there could have been more than one Patanjali.

More than one Patanjali etc have been discussed on this list. Please see BVP archives. If you have anew article and anything substantial else what purpose will it serve in discussing the same issues over and over. Thanks
