PatajaliYogaSutra:

When it is talked about Yoga the first name that comes to mind is that of patanjali mahaRiShi. He is the one attributed to be the establisher of the Yoga system. Though there were his contemporaries and predecessors who have been following this Yogic system, patanjali's Yoga Sutras (aphorism) is a classic text in the Yogic system. The exact period of this sage is not known.

The tradition says that this sage was like a serpent in the bottom part of the body. He is considered to be the AdiSheSha on whom mahAviShNu reclines. This renowned serpent wanted to have thedarshan of the glorious dance of Lord Shiva. He and another sage with the legs of tiger (vyAghrapAda) performed the austerities at the abode of chidambaram. The Lord appreciating their adherence and devotion danced in front of them. (Another Yogic sage thirumUlar who was a contemporary of patanjali refers to his worship at chidambaram.)
