Explanation

Patanjali is the author of the Yoga Sutra.

Chanakya, also known as Kautilya, wrote the Arthashastra on statecraft.

Panini composed the Ashtadhyayi, the great treatise on Sanskrit grammar.

Charaka is credited with the medical treatise, the Charaka Samhita.

This pairs Patanjali with the Yoga Sutra, Chanakya with the Arthashastra, Panini with the Ashtadhyayi and Charaka with the medical treatise.

Together these works span philosophy, polity, linguistics and medicine in ancient India.
