The Complete Commentary by Śankara on the Yoga Sutra-s

Összefoglaló

“When Trevor Leggett published The Complete Commentary by Śa?kara on the Yoga s?tra-s in 1990, it was the first full translation of the sub-commentary on the Yogas?tras, variously called the Yogas?trabh??yavivara?a or the P?ta?jalayogaś?stravivara?a, etc., into a modern language. The Sanskrit text (henceforth the Vivara?a) had attracted some attention from Western scholars from the time it was published in Madras in 1952 as part of the Madras Government Oriental Series, especially because the editors of the edition ascribed it to one of the most famous of Indian philosophers, Śa?kara.Hajime Nakamura, by translating whose work from Japanese into English Leggett had become known among Indologists, was one of those who were interested in the Vivara?a. Nakamura wrote a few articles on the Vivara?a in the late 1970s, mainly concerned with its authorship. He also published a Japanese translation of its first chapter from 1979 to 1983. I imagine that Leggett’s interest in the Vivara?a was inspired by Nakamura.” Excerpt From: Trevor Leggett. “The Complete Commentary by Śa?kara on the Yoga S?tra-s.” iBooks.
