(MBh 1.123.1-39), the story of Prajāpati, Indra and Virochana from the
Chāndogya Upanisad
(CU 8.7.1-8.12.5), the story of Śankara in the King's body from the
Śankaradigvijaya
, and A.R. Murugadoss's Hindi film
Ghajini
(2008), respectively. These stories are thematically juxtaposed with Pātañjala-yoga, namely Patañjali's
