This HDF post talks of the other chapters and their significance to jyotish:

Now it is quite interesting to me that some key numbers are found in patajalis yogadarśana. The HDF post aforementioned will discuss two of them : 4 ( as the 4 chapters) , and 8 , as the 8 limbs of yoga (aṣṭāṅga yoga) that mahaṛṣi-ji discusses. Yet there is one more. If we add up all the sūtra-s there are 196 of them. Is this number of any significance ?

Namaste yajvan,

Do not some interprets site from 194 to 200 sutras? I should be interested to hear of the significance or reason for this, are these differences grammatical in nature?

Thank you.
