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.
