Bhagavat Gita
Ch : IV
Ending Action in Knowledge
(Jnana - Karma - Sanyas Yoga)

1 The Blessed Lord said:
This imperishable Yoga
I taught it first the Sun.
Sun taught it Manu, and,
Manu initiated Ikshwaku.

2 Thus in succession by generations
Great many saints studied this.
But as great long ages passed
Yoga faded to extinct oh Foemar.

   Krishna says: oh Arjuna, first I taught this Gita to Sun. Sun taught it Manu and Manu passed it to Ikshwaku and so on. Thus this great teaching was studied by great saints and people. However, with the passage of a long time, the handing over of the knowledge stopped. Now Gita knowledge is extinct. God's incarnation is for saving knowledge.

   Preservation of knowledge is very important. Oh God, give us knowledge and power to spread it. Hare Krishna
