Translation
Following the instructions of the great sage Jaigīṣavya, Viṣvaksena compiled an elaborate description of the yoga system. From Viṣvaksena, Udaksena was born, and from Udaksena, Bhallāṭa. All these sons are known as descendants of Bṛhadiṣu.
Viṣvaksena compiled a work on yoga. All the sons were descendents of Bṛhadīśu. The form bārhadīṣavāḥ is poetic license. Bārhadiṣavaḥ would be the correct form.
Personal Guidance
Following Jaigīṣavya, Viṣvaksena compiles an elaborate yoga manual. Sometimes our greatest contribution is not personal experience but the careful compilation of a tradition for those who come after.
Reflection Questions
- What would 'compiling a manual' look like for the practice I have lived?
- Whose compilation work in my tradition deserves more of my attention?
