𑌪𑌾𑌤𑌂𑌜𑌲𑌿 𑌯𑍋𑌗 𑌸𑍂𑌤𑍍𑌰𑌾𑌣𑌿 are concise aphorisms meant to be lived, not merely understood. They read like a pocket-sized psychology of attention: how the mind gets scattered, why suffering repeats, and what kind of training makes clarity stable.

In 𑌸𑌮𑌾𑌧𑌿 𑌪𑌾𑌦, Patanjali defined 𑌯𑍋𑌗 as the stilling of the mind's fluctuations (𑌚𑌿𑌤𑍍𑌤-𑌵𑍃𑌤𑍍𑌤𑌿-𑌨𑌿𑌰𑍋𑌧𑌃) and described what becomes visible when the mind is quieter: the 𑌦𑍍𑌰𑌷𑍍𑌟𑍃 (seer) stands distinct from what is seen. He mapped the kinds of mental movement, the role of 𑌅𑌭𑍍𑌯𑌾𑌸 and 𑌵𑍈𑌰𑌾𑌗𑍍𑌯, the obstacles that disrupt steadiness, and several skillful remedies (attitudes like 𑌮𑍈𑌤𑍍𑌰𑍀/𑌕𑌰𑍁𑌣𑌾, breath-based settling, and 𑌈𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌰𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌣𑌿𑌧𑌾𑌨).

As you read, notice the chapter's rhythm: diagnosis first, then remedy; inner work and outer discipline reinforcing each other. Classical 𑌯𑍋𑌗 commentaries treat this chapter as the practical spine of the text, because it shows how clarity becomes a stable character rather than a passing mood.
