Mahabhashya

Aithihyamala, written by Kottarathil Sankunni, contains the following legend about the Mahabhashya. Patanjali is an incarnation of Adishesha who was blessed by Lord Shiva enabling him to write Mahabhashya. After he incinerates the 999 disciples in anger due to the misbehavior of one in leaving the class without his permission, he turns the last student also into ashes. It is through a Yaksha that he decides to spread his knowledge since the Yaksha was eavesdropping the classes. He curses the Yaksha into a Brahmarakshas, promising his revival only upon teaching a human, the Mahabhashya. The Yaksha teaches it to Govindaswami, the father of VararuchiVikramadityaBhatti and Bhartruhari.
