This, handed down in regular succession by the royal sages, was known. This Yoga, however, has been lost here over time, O Parantapa (burner of the foes).
इस प्रकार परम्परा से प्राप्त हुये इस योग को राजर्षियों ने जाना, (परन्तु) हे परन्तप ! वह योग बहुत काल (के अन्तराल) से यहाँ (इस लोक में) नष्टप्राय हो गया।।
