अर्जुन उवाच | अपरं भवतो जन्म परं जन्म विवस्वतः | कथमेतद्विजानीयां त्वमादौ प्रोक्तवानिति
arjuna uvāca . aparaṃ bhavato janma paraṃ janma vivasvataḥ . kathametadvijānīyāṃ tvamādau proktavāniti
阿爾諸那說:您的誕生較晚,而韋瓦斯瓦(Vivasvan)的誕生較早。您在最初傳授了它,我如何能理解這點呢?
Arjuna said Your birth was later, (whereas) the birth of Vivasvan was earlier. How am I to understand this that You instructed (him) in the beginning?
您的誕生發生在瓦蘇戴瓦(Vasudeva)家族較晚的時期,而韋瓦斯瓦(Vivasvan)或太陽神則在演化之初就已誕生。我如何能相信您在最初將這門瑜伽教導給韋瓦斯瓦,而現在您,同一個人,又將它教導給我?我無法調和這一點。我的主啊,請您慈悲地啟發我。
Thy birth took place later in the hourse of Vasudeva Vivasvan or Vivasvat (the Sun) was born earlier in the beginning of evolution. How am I to believe that Thou taughtest this Yoga in the beginning to Vivasvan? and that Thou? the selfsame person? hast now taught it to me I am not able to reconcile this. Be kind enought to enlighten me? O my Lord.
