    Commentaries around

    “There are two types of Yogis.
    The first, Bubhukṣu, are Yogis who
    seek material benefits through Samādhi.
    This Sūtra speaks about the second type,
    the Mumukṣu, who do not seek material benefits.”
    – T Krishnamacharya on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 20
