Patanjali an Ancient Creator of Tweets?

Patanjali  an ancient creator of tweets?  #yoga #quote "The term sutra ... literally means a thread and essentially refers to a terse and pithy philosophical statement in which the maximum amount of information is packed into the minimum number of words.": Edwin Bryant, "The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali".  So as Patanjali wrote the sutras, he was in effect creating tweets??? at least in concept, although not necessarily sticking to 140 characters!
