AI overview
I don't have sufficient context provided to write an accurate overview. The single caption you've provided only mentions Patanjali as an avatar of Shesha (a serpent deity in Hindu tradition) but doesn't explain what Patanjali is, what he's known for, or why he matters historically or culturally. I cannot write responsibly without additional context about his actual significance.
