Allaolevissa suutra'issa Patañjali näyttäisi luettelevan erilaisia jippoja
mielentyyneyden (chitta*-prasaadanam; tshitta-) saavuttamiseksi. Tarkoituksemme on käsitellä niitä
tässä "artikkelisarjassa" yksitellen:

* Preferoimme lingvistien suosimaa muotoa citta, jossa "tsh" ( च ) on esitetty
pelkällä c:llä; silloin ch "vapautuu" esittämään vastaavaa isohönkä-konsonanttia
(mahaa-praaNa -konsonanttia) "tshh" ( छ ), eikä sitä tartte translitteroida chh:lla!
(tsh taitaa antaa hieman väärän kuvan tuon konsonantin ääntämyksestä, mutta
kun suomessa ei ole palataali-affrikaattaa (tai pikemminkin kai postalveolaarista?),
sanskritiksi aghoSa- alpapraaNa/mahaapraaNa-taalavya;
kielenkärki pitää olla kitalaessa, ei heti hampaitten takana,  niitä äännettäessä?!)
