Albrecht Wezler (University of Hamburg)鈥擜.Wezler has examined a different manuscript of Patanjala-yogasutra-bhashya-vivarana He also reported the existence of yet another manuscript. 4 An article published in the Indo-Iranian Journal discusses about the reliability of the colophon of Patanjala-yogasutra-bhashya-vivarana He argues that, the very title of the text (Patanjala-yogasutra-bhasya-vivarana of SankaraBhagavatpada) given by the editors P. Rama Sastri and S.R. Krishnamurthi Sastri itself is an error. The author strongly states that, the data given in colophons should never be simply taken for granted. It should be examined critically with the help of further evidence. He declares after a thorough examination that the title is mentioned in the body of the text itself, viz., in the very first prose sentence, which runs thus: athetyadi- patanjala-yogasastravivaranamarabhyate (The vivarana on the Patanjala-yogasastrabhasya which commences with the words atha and so on, is begun). As this title has been given by Vivaranakara himself in the text, it has to be given preference over the colophons. He also points out that this view has been previously observed by J. Bronkhorst as well. Wezler states that, the author of Patanjala-yogasutra-bhashya-vivarana based his commentary on a version of Yogasutra of Patanjali, which contained more 12

original and superior readings than the printed editions available nowadays.
