c16.112

**Yoga aims at treatment of Mind.** The Yoga scheme of education has for its object "the purification of Mind, just as the Āyurvedic science of Charaka treats of the Body, and the grammatical science presented in the *Mahābhāshya* treats of *Śabda* or speech." There is even a tradition that all these three Sciences were the work of a single author, Ṛishi Patañjali. The Science of Yoga prescribes the course of this treatment of Mind.
