Verses Of Gita Chapter 4

श्री भगवानुवाच

इमं विवस्वते योगं प्रोक्तवानहमव्ययम् । विवस्वान मनवे प्राह मनुरिक्ष्वाकवेऽब्रवीत । 18.9 | I

Shri Bhaqavaan uvaacha:

Imam vivasvate yogam proktavaan aham avyayam Vivasvaan manave praaha manur ikshvaakave abraveet 4.1

Shri Bhagavaan uvaacha : the Lord said; imam: this; vivasvate: to the Sun God; yogam: the science of yoga; proktavaan: instructed; aham: I; avyayam: imperishable; vivasvaan: Sun God; manave: to Manu, the father of mankind; praaha: told; manuh: Manu; ikshvaakave: to King Ikshvaaku; abraveet: said

4.1 The Lord said:

'I taught the sun god, Vivasvan, the imperishable science of yoga and Vivasvan taught Manu, the father of mankind and Manu in turn taught Ikshvaku.'

एवं परम्पराप्राप्तमिमं राजर्षयो विदः । स कालेनेह महता योगो नष्टः परन्तप।।४.२।।

Evam paramparaa praaptam imam raajarshayo viduhu sa kaaleneha mahataa yogo nashtaha parantapa 4.2

evam: thus; paramparaa: Master-disciple succession; praaptam: received; imam: this science; raajarshayah: the saintly kings; viduhu: understood; sa: that knowledge; kaalena: in the course of time; iha: in this world; mahataa: by great; yogaha: the science of yoga; nashta: lost; parantapa: subduer of the enemies

4.2 The supreme science was thus received through the chain of master-disciple succession and the saintly kings understood it in that way.

In the course of time, the succession was broken and therefore the science as it was appears to have been lost.

स एवायं मया तेऽद्य योगः प्रोक्तः पुरातनः। भक्तोऽसि मे सखा चेति रहस्यं ह्येतद्र्तमम्।।४.३।।

Sa eva ayam mayaa tedya yogaha protkaha puraatanaha Bhakto asi me sakhaa cheti rahasyam hy etat uttamam 4.3

Sa: that; eva: only; ayam: this; maya: by Me; te: to you; adya: today; yogaha: the science of yoga; proktaha: spoken; puraatanaha: very old; bhaktaha: devotee; asi: you are; me: My; sakhaa: friend; cha: also; iti: therefore; rahasyam: mystery; hi: because etat: this; uttamam: supreme

4.3 That ancient science of enlightenment, or entering into eternal bliss, is today taught by me to you because you are my devotee as well as my friend.

You will certainly understand the supreme mystery of this science.
