Yogasutrabhasyavivarana of Sankara: Vivarana Text with English Translation and Critical Notes along with Text and English Translation of Patanjali's Yogasutras and Vyasabhasya, vols. 1 and 2. By T. S. RUKMANI. New Delhi: MUNSHIRAM MANOHARLAL PUBLISHERS, 2001. Pp. xxxii + 389; x + 230. These two volumes combine texts and translations of three works, i.e., the Yogasutra (YS), its authoritative commentary Yogabhasya (YBh), and a subcommentary Vivarana. The focus is, as the title suggests, the subcommentary Vivarana. Texts and translations of the YS and the YBh are provided to help understand the subcommentary. The translations of them are taken from a previous publication of the author, the translation of the Yogavarttika of Vijnanabhiksu (p. ix). This is a second translation of the complete text of the Vivarana, in addition to Leggett (The Complete Commentary by Sankara on the Yoga Sutras: A Full Translation of the Newly Discovered Text [London: Kegan Paul, 1990]).
