Sri Bhagavan Uvacha
Imam vivasvate yogam proktavan aham avyayam I
Vivasvan manave praha manuh ikshvakave bravit II Sloka 1
श्री भगवान उवाच
इमां विवस्वते योगं प्रोक्तवान अहं अव्ययं ।
विवस्वन मनवे प्राह मनुः इक्ष्वाकवे ब्रवीत ।। श्लोक १
The Blessed Lord said
This imperishable yoga, I declared to Vivasvat; Vivasvat taught it to Manu, who in turn told it to Ikshvaku.
Moksha or the spiritual emancipation being imperishable, yoga or the means to it is alsodesignated as imperishable. Man's endeavours for emancipation are everlasting; practice of yoga is also therefore everlasting.
Vivasvat is the name of Surya, the sun God. Manu is the ruler immortalised by his smriti - the code of conduct. Ikshvaku is the first among the kings of the solar dynasty. When the rulers of the kingdoms come to know of this supreme wisdom they tackle the worldly problems more diligently.
