TEXT 226

’nirgrantha hañā’—ei duṅhāra ‘viśeṣaṇa’
āra artha śuna, yaiche sādhura saṅgama

TRANSLATION

“The word ‘nirgrantha’ can be taken as an adjective modifying ‘muni’ and ‘ātmārāma.’ There is another meaning, which you may hear from Me, indicating association with a devotee. Now I shall explain how it is that through the association of devotees, even a nirgrantha can become a devotee.
