Å›rÄ«-bhagavÄn uvÄca - the Supreme Personality of Godhead said; nirvidya - becoming detached; naá¹£á¹a-draviṇe - his wealth having been destroyed; gata-klamaḥ - free from moroseness; pravrajya - leaving home; gÄm - the earth; paryaá¹amÄnaḥ - traveling; ittham - in this way; nirÄká¹›taḥ - insulted; asadbhiḥ - by rascals; api - even though; sva-dharmÄt - from his prescribed duties; akampitaḥ - unswerved; amÅ«m - this; muniḥ - the sage; Äha - spoke; gÄthÄm - song.
Lord ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa said: Thus becoming detached upon the loss of his property, this sage gave up his moroseness. He left home, taking sannyÄsa, and began to travel about the earth. Even when insulted by foolish rascals he remained unswerved from his duty and chanted this song.
Those becoming free from the materialistic way of life, which involves grueling austerities performed to acquire money, may chant the preceding song of the Vaiṣṇava sannyÄsÄ«. ÅšrÄ«la BhaktisiddhÄnta SarasvatÄ« ṬhÄkura states that if one is not capable of listening to the song of this sannyÄsÄ«, then one will certainly remain an obedient servant of material illusion.
