Translation
King Citraketu said: O great lord Aṅgirā, because of austerity, knowledge and transcendental samādhi, you are freed from all the reactions of sinful life. Therefore, as a perfect yogī, you can understand everything external and internal regarding embodied, conditioned souls like us.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
King Citraketu said: What is not known in all embodied beings externally and internally by yogīs who have destroyed all sins by austerity, knowledge and samādhi?
Śarīriṣu means “persons like me.”
