Here Orissa soft stone is nicely used to carve out the beautiful figure of Patanjali. Here not in a single piece of stone is used as a number of stones are put together. The beautiful stone figure of Adisesha Patanjali is given a refine and minute treatment. Patanjali, the great yoga acharya is also believed to be an incarnation of Adishesa, who is the first ego-expansion of Vishnu, the manifestation of Vishnu. His primeval energies and opulences, is part of the so-called catur vyūha, the fourfold manifestation of Vishnu. Thus may Patañjali be considered as the one incarnation of God defending the ego of yoga. Patanjali is the compiler of the Yoga Sutras, a major work containing articles on the philosophical aspects of mind and consciousness. He is also the author of a major commentary on Panini's Ashtadhyayi.
