Translation

Thereafter, Pṛṣadhra gained relief from all responsibilities, became peaceful in mind, and established control over all his senses. Being unaffected by material conditions, being pleased with whatever was available by the grace of the Lord to maintain body and soul together, and being equal toward everyone, he gave full attention to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva, who is the transcendental Supersoul, free from material contamination. Thus Pṛṣadhra, fully satisfied in pure knowledge, always keeping his mind on the Supreme Personality of Godhead, achieved pure devotional service to the Lord and began traveling all over the world, without affection for material activities, as if he were deaf, dumb and blind.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Fixing himself with complete devotion on pure Lord Vāsudeva, the antaryāmī, becoming the friend of all beings, seeing them all equally, becoming detached from material life, controlling his mind and senses, not accepting charity from anyone, subsisting on whatever came of its own accord, fixing his mind on the Lord, and satisfied with knowledge, he traveled over the earth as if dumb, blind and deaf. He fixed his mind (ātmanam) on the Lord (ātmani). He was satisfied with knowledge (and did not engage in it anymore), but was not fully satisfied with bhakti, wanting more and more.
