Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

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.
