Yoga Sutra III-19 - PRATYAYASYA PARACITTA JNANAM - By samyama on the distinguishing signs of others' bodies, knowledge of their mental images is obtained.Yoga Sutra III-20- NA CA TAT SALAMBANAM TASYAVISAYI BHUTATVAT - But this does not include the support in the person's mind [such as the motive behind the thought, etc.], as that is not the object of the samyama.
Swami Satchidananda translated the above sutras without commentary.
From "How to Know God - The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali" translated and commented on by Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood the only comment is:
"In order to know the contents of another man's mind, the yogi would have to make a second samyama on the heart (aphorism 35 of this chapter)."
