Dear Friends,

In the following news article about a couple of 'Sanskrit-speaking' villages in the borderlands of Assam,

https://www.sentinelassam.com/north-east-india-news/assam-news/assam-sanskrit-revived-in-two-border-villages-in-karimganj

there is an image which appears to have a Sanskrit verse on the sign, which reads:

rayānam-madhyapatiyālā, patanjali yogamārgaḥ 
grāma madhyapātiyālā, pan?tālayaḥ pecāyālā

I have not had much success in deciphering this. I think these are possibly local place or family names. Though, I'm not sure.

If anyone has some greater insight, I would be pleased to hear from you. 

Thank you.
