एवं परम्पराप्राप्तमिमं राजर्षयो विदुः | स कालेनेह महता योगो नष्टः परन्तप
evaṃ paramparāprāptamimaṃ rājarṣayo viduḥ . sa kāleneha mahatā yogo naṣṭaḥ parantapa
婆羅多後裔啊,這門依循傳承而得的瑜伽,聖王們都曾知曉。然而,由於漫長歲月的流逝,那門瑜伽在此世已然佚失。
The king-sages knew this (yoga) which was received thus in regular succession. That Yoga, O destroyer of foes, in now lost owing to a long lapse of time.
聖王(Rajarshis)是指那些既是國王又是聖賢的人,他們學習了這門瑜伽。阿爾諸那(Arjuna)能以其勇氣和力量的熱度,像太陽一樣焚燒或困擾他的敵人,因此得名「敵人之焚者」(Parantapa)。
The royal sages Men who were kings and at the same time sages also? learnt this Yoga.Arjuna could burn or harass his foes? like the sun? by the heat of his valour and power. Hence the name Parantapa.
