Krishna said: I taught this imperishable Yoga to the Sun god Vivasvan; Vivasvan taught it to Manu, the original man; Manu told it to Ikshvaku, the first king. The saintly kings received this science in a continuous succession, until after a long time, it was lost. It is this same ancient Yoga that I am now teaching you, for you are my devotee and my friend. This is the supreme secret.
