Patañjali est un nom célèbre dans l'histoire intellectuelle du monde indien. Ce nom est porté, semble-t-il, par deux érudits distincts. Le premier Patañjali serait le grammairien qui écrit en 200 av. J.-C. environ le Mahābhāṣya, « Grand Commentaire » de la « Grammaire en huit parties », la Aṣṭādhyāyī, composée en 400 av. J.-C. environ par le grammairien Pāṇini. Le deuxième Patañjali serait le compilateur réel ou mythique du recueil classique des Yoga Sūtra de date beaucoup plus récente, quelque part entre l'an 300 av. J.-C. et l'an 500 apr. J.-C.. Il aurait aussi écrit le Nataraja stotram, « hymne à Natarâja », Shiva roi de la danse. Wikipedia
