I realized I read the wrong version (oops), but I liked this one because it had zero commentary embedded in the text. The first version that I bought accidentally had nearly a chapter of commentary devoted to every single line of sutra!

I still access the sutras well beyond the days that I was required to read them. I really like that the book includes Sanskrit and English. A must read for yoga practioners of all levels.
