TRANSLATION
"In addition to the nineteen meanings of the verse mentioned previously, there are these four further meanings when the word 'ātmārāma' is taken to mean 'those laboring under the bodily conception.' This brings the total to twenty-three. Now hear of another three meanings, which are very suitable.
PURPORT
The three further meanings of the verse are understood when (1) the word ca is taken to mean "in due course," (2) the word ca is taken to mean eva and the word api to mean "censure," and (3) the word nirgrantha is taken to mean "one who is very poor, without money."
