'ātmārāmāś ca' samuccaye kahiye ca-kāra

'munayaś ca' bhakti kare,—ei artha tāra

SYNONYMS

TRANSLATION

"After uttering the word 'ātmārāmāḥ' fifty-eight times and taking 'ca' in a sense of aggregation, one may add the word 'munayaḥ.' That will mean that great sages also render devotional service to Lord Kṛṣṇa. In this way there are fifty-nine meanings.
