Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Please enumerate the elements and describe their principal qualities as well as their effects. Describe the rules for worshipping the puruṣāvatāras. Describe their activities, and the rules for aṣṭāṅga-yoga mixed with bhakti.
Commentary (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Enumerate the elements (tattvānām) and their svarūpas (lakṣaṇam), and how they give rise to various effects (hetu-lakṣaṇam). Puruṣa here refers to the puruṣāvatāras and their activities. Yoga indicates yoga-miśra-bhakti.
