Text

Not waiting for his brothers, not hearing anything as if deaf, he left the house. Meditating on Kṛṣṇa in the heart, he went in the northern direction where great souls had previously gone, from which one does not return.

Purport

He did not wait for his brothers (anaveksamanah). He decided to carry out the method taught by the Lord in man-mana bhava mad-bhaktah to attain Krsna in some solitary place, without disturbance, since he had now given up all responsibilities. This verse describes his action to achieve that. Param brahman means Krsna.
