SHRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA-A JAIN PERSPECTIVE
Manu, in his turn imparted it to Iksvaku : "Thus transmitted in succession this yoga was handed over to royal sages. But by the passage of time it lapsed. But this ancient yoga is now imparted by me to you because you are my > devotee friend. This yoga is a Supreme secret." -1.2.3
॥ अर्जुन उवाच ॥ अपरं भवतो जन्म परं जन्म विवस्वतः । कथमेतद्विजानीयां त्वमादौ प्रोक्तवानिति
Arjuna Said
"My Lord. Vivasvat existed long before your birth. If so, how can it be believed that you had expounded this yoga to him?"- 4 ॥ श्रीभगवानुवाच ॥
बहूनि मे व्यतीतानि जन्मानि तव चार्जुन । तान्यहं वेद सर्वाणि न त्वं वेत्थ परन्तप
