=== Commentary (टीका) ===
Swami Sivananda's commentary contains an emphasis on the historical and imperishable nature of the Yoga as taught by Lord Krishna. The sloka highlights the unbroken transmission of spiritual knowledge through prominent figures such as Vivasvan (the Sun God), Manu, and Ikṣvāku, indicating the significance of this tradition. The use of the term *avyayam* reflects the eternal, unchanging essence of Yoga taught in the Bhagavad Gita.

Swami Ramsukhdas, in his Hindi commentary, elaborates on how this Yoga, recognized as Karma-Yoga in the context of the Gita, is profound yet accessible, emphasizing that it is appropriate for all householders. His commentary reflects on the functional role of historic figures mentioned in the sloka, such as Vivasvan foremost in creation and Manu as the first sovereign man, accentuating their responsibility in maintaining and transmitting Yoga’s teachings, particularly its practice in the form of Karma-Yoga.

The passage seamlessly ties into the Gita's central themes by illustrating how foundational spiritual knowledge and practice, once originating with the divine, partakes in the human sphere, offering a blueprint for harmonious living with divine insight. Through these exchanges, the concept of Yoga has been preserved and remains relevant across ages, suggesting its essential and unchangeable nature in the pursuit of Moksha (liberation).
