Bhagavad Gita 4.2

BG 4.2 — Chapter 4 (The Yoga of Knowledge and Renunciation), Verse 2, with Sanskrit, transliteration & translation.

एवं परम्पराप्राप्तमिमं राजर्षयो विदुः | स कालेनेह महता योगो नष्टः परन्तप ||४-२||

🕉

evaṃ paramparāprāptamimaṃ rājarṣayo viduḥ . sa kāleneha mahatā yogo naṣṭaḥ parantapa ||4-2||

Roman: evam paramparapraptamimam rajarshayo viduh . sa kaleneha mahata yogo nashtah parantapa

This, handed down thus in regular succession, the royal sages knew. This Yoga, by long lapse of time, has been lost here, O Parantapa (burner of the foes).
