{{main|Yoga Sutras of Patanjali}}
The ''Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali'' are 196 Indian sutras ([[aphorism]]s) on [[Yoga]]. It 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.{{sfn|White|2014|p=xvi}} 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]] and others. It gained prominence again as a comeback classic in the 20th century.{{sfn|White|2014|p=xvi–xvii}}

Before the 20th century, history indicates the Indian yoga scene was dominated by other Yoga texts such as the ''[[Bhagavad Gita]]'', ''[[Yoga Vasistha]]'' and ''[[Yoga Yajnavalkya]]''.{{sfn|White|2014|p=xvi–xvii, 20–23}} Scholars consider the ''Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali'' formulations as one of the foundations of classical [[Yoga (philosophy)|Yoga philosophy]] of Hinduism.<ref name=ianwhicher49>Ian Whicher (1998), The Integrity of the Yoga Darsana: A Reconsideration of Classical Yoga, State University of New York Press, {{ISBN|978-0791438152}}, page 49</ref><ref name=stuartsarbacker195>Stuart Sarbacker (2011), Yoga Powers (Editor: Knut A.
