श्रीभगवानुवाच | इमं विवस्वते योगं प्रोक्तवानहमव्ययम् | विवस्वान्मनवे प्राह मनुरिक्ष्वाकवेऽब्रवीत्
śrībhagavānuvāca . imaṃ vivasvate yogaṃ proktavānahamavyayam . vivasvānmanave prāha manurikṣvākave.abravīt
至尊主说:我将这不朽的瑜伽传授给毗瓦斯万,毗瓦斯万传授给摩奴,摩奴又传授给益世瓦库。
The Blessed Lord said I imparted this imperishable Yoga to Vivasvan, Vivasvan taught this to Manu, and Manu transmitted this to Iksavaku.
毗瓦斯万(Vivasvan)意指太阳神。益世瓦库(Ikshvaku)是摩奴(Manu)的儿子,也是刹帝利太阳王朝的著名祖先。这种瑜伽被称为不朽,因为通过它所能达到的结果或果实,即解脱(Moksha),是永恒不朽的。如果统治者们掌握了我前两章所教的瑜伽知识,他们就能保护婆罗门,并公正地治理他们的王国。因此,在宇宙演化之初,我将这种瑜伽传授给了太阳神。
Vivasvan means the sun. Ikshvaku was the son of Manu. Ikshvaku was the reputed ancestor of the solar dynasty of Kshatriyas.This Yoga is said to be imperishable because the result or fruit? i.e.? Moksha? that can be attained through it is imperishable.If the rulers of dominions possess a knowledge of the Yoga taught by Me in the preceding two discourses? they can protect the Brahmanas and rule their kingdom with justice. So I taught this Yoga to the Sungod in the beginning of evolution.
