 Sage patanjali, codified the complete essenceof yoga, into 195 such sutras. They are organized into four sections, via thename of samAdhi pAdaH, sadhana pAdaH, vibhUti pAdaH, and kaivalya pAdaH. The first section, samAdhi pAdaH contains51 sutras, the place Sage patanjali defines the country of yoga, and outlines the technique ofattaining to that state. This part additionally consists of the definitionsof a number states of samAdhi that one can achieve to, and the kind of sAdhana that leadsone to such states.

Since in this state, one perceives no moreseparation between oneself and the other, this nation is named as kaivalya, which comesthe root phrase kevala, which means simply one, or single. Each sutra of the patanjali yoga sutras, alsoworks as a mantra, which when pondered upon repeatedly, displays the very essence containedin it.
