The concept of Yoga has been developed by our ancestors in the ancient period. Maharṣi Patañjali, the author of Yogaśśāstra or Yogasūtra is regarded as the founder of the Yoga school of Indian Philosophy. After the Yogaśśāstra, various authorities have been contributed to this discipline through their numerous contributions. It is also found that, some scholars incorporate the concept of Yoga Philosophy in their works though they don’t compose independent work on Yoga. Our author Veṅkaṭeśa is one among them. He is an exponent of medicine (āyurveda) and prosody as well as devotional literature. Although he describes various metres in the work Vṛttaratnāvali, but he also praises goddess Sarasvatī, goddess of learning in each and every verse of the work. So the text is otherwise known as Sarasvatīstotra. The author also auto-commented on this work. At one place, the author mentions the concept of aṣṭāṅga-yoga in praising goddess Sarasvatī and also commented on it. The present study emphasises on his interpretations on aṣṭāṅga-yoga with a comparative approach with the Yogaśśāstra of Patañjali.)
