Translation
Instruction should be given to the faithful devotee who is respectful to the spiritual master, nonenvious, friendly to all kinds of living entities and eager to render service with faith and sincerity.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
One should teach this to devotees having faith, to those with proper conduct, to those without hatred for any living being, who are friendly to all beings, who are eager to serve, to those who are detached from external objects, to those with peaceful minds, to those who are unselfish, to those who are pure, and to those for whom I am the most dear among all dear things.
Two verses list those who are qualified for instruction. Bahir-jāta-virāgāya means “to those who are detached from external objects.”
