Chapter XVIII · Śloka 75
व्यासप्रसादाच्छ्रुतवानेतद्गुह्यमहं परम् ।
योगं योगेश्वरात्कृष्णात्साक्षात्कथयतः स्वयम् ॥
योगं योगेश्वरात्कृष्णात्साक्षात्कथयतः स्वयम् ॥
vyāsa-prasādāc chrutavān etad guhyam ahaṃ param |
yogaṃ yogeśvarāt kṛṣṇāt sākṣāt kathayataḥ svayam ||
yogaṃ yogeśvarāt kṛṣṇāt sākṣāt kathayataḥ svayam ||
By the grace of Vyāsa I heard this supreme, most secret yoga directly as Krishna, the Lord of yoga, Himself was declaring it.
Sañjaya acknowledges the chain of transmission: Vyāsa's grace granted him the faculty to hear Krishna's teaching directly. Even the narrator situates himself within a lineage of grace, underscoring that this knowledge does not come by personal merit alone.
