The text describes Yoga as a means to self-knowledge, the highest wisdom.[8] Its text is structured as a teaching from Narayana (Purusha in Sun, Vishnu) to sage Yajnavalkya.[8][9] The text is notable for teaching eight step Yoga but with somewhat different conceptual framework than most other texts.[8] The teachings of the text combine different types of Yoga with non-dual Vedanta philosophy.[10]
