<P> The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali are 196 Indian sutras ( aphorisms ) . The Yoga Sutras were compiled prior to 400 CE by Sage Patanjali , taking materials about yoga from older traditions . The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali was the most translated ancient Indian text in the medieval era , having been translated into about forty Indian languages and two non-Indian languages : Old Javanese and Arabic . The text fell into obscurity for nearly 700 years from the 12th to 19th century , and made a comeback in late 19th century due to the efforts of Swami Vivekananda , the Theosophical Society and others . It gained prominence again as a comeback classic in the 20th century . </P>
