Rājayogabhāṣya (राजयोगभाष्य) glosses Rājayoga as “the king of [all] yogas”. In Shastri and Rangacharya’s edition (1896), the Rājayogabhāṣya is presented as a commentary on the Maṇḍalabrāhmaṇopaniṣat, and there are many parallels between the two texts. Furthermore, some colophons of the Rājayogabhāṣya confirm that it is “an expanded Yogaśāstra” (e.g., ms. 570: 1884-87 at BORI, folio 4r, line 10: [...]). Also see the preface to Shastri’s edition (1896: iii) for a similar colophon.
