Translation
Nārada Muni continued: After trying this process for many, many births and remaining unattached to material contamination, placing themselves continually in trance and executing many types of austerities, many mystic yogīs were unable to find the end of the path of God realization.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Sages searching for may births with detachment, by samādhi and severe yoga did not understand the path to the Lord.
