Giảng giải

Krishna describes how the teaching was preserved and then lost. It passed from one generation to the next through paramparā, a chain of transmission, and was known to rājarṣis, kings who were also sages. These were rulers who governed while holding inner wisdom, a fitting model for Arjuna, himself a prince. Yet with the passing of a great span of time, the yoga faded from the world. The verse explains why it must now be taught again, and it hints that such teachings need living teachers to remain alive.
