Sri Bhagavaan Uvaacha
Imam vivaswate yogam proktavaan aham avyayam;
Vivaswaan manave praaha manur ikshwaakave’braveet.
The Blessed Lord said
1. I taught this imperishable Yoga to Vivasvan; he told it to Manu; Manu proclaimed it to
Ikshvaku.
Evam paramparaa praaptam imam raajarshayo viduh;
Sa kaaleneha mahataa yogo nashtah parantapa.
2. This, handed down thus in regular succession, the royal sages knew. This Yoga, by a long
lapse of time, has been lost here, O Parantapa (burner of foes)!
