My dear Lord, O mighty-armed one, previously in Your form of Lord Haṁsa You spoke to Lord Brahmā those religious principles that bring supreme happiness to the practitioner. My dear Mādhava, now much time has passed, and that which You previously instructed will soon practically cease to exist, O subduer of the enemy.

Translation
O Lord! O mighty-armed one! Previously in your form of Haṁsa you spoke to Brahmā about dharma that brings supreme happiness to the practitioner. O Mādhava! O subduer of the enemy! Now much time has passed and that which you previously instructed will soon practically cease to exist.
“Have I not explained dharma to you previously?” Paramakam dharmam means the supreme dharma having the happiness of liberation (kam). As Haṁsa, you spoke not only about yoga, but also about sva-dharma (varṇāśrama, karma-yoga) to Brahmā:
mayaitad uktaṁ vo viprā guhyaṁ yat sāṅkhya-yogayoḥ
jānīta māgataṁ yajṣaṁ yuṣmad-dharma-vivakṣayā
O brāhmaṇas! Know that it is I, Viṣṇu, who has come with a desire to teach you dharma. I have spoken the confidential knowledge of Sāṅkhya, and aṣṭāṅga-yoga. SB 11.13.38
Though you taught this previously, it will not be present in the future.
