It doesn't say word for word, "Oh, by the way, those chosen few... we mean the Padjal."
But I do feel it is pretty heavily implied. The elementals said, "K, you guys can do this again...." and ever since the Padjal have been the stewards of the art.
Edit: And it is "being revived" in their (the Padjal's) hands. It's a big leap, in my opinion, to take that to mean the Padjal are training other people.
Edit 2: I can read good. "Overseeing its careful instruction..." Fair enough.
