Translation

When it is said that Puraṣjana goes to Vaiśasa, it is meant that he goes to hell. He is accompanied by Lubdhaka, which is the working sense in the rectum. Formerly I have also spoken of two blind associates. These associates should be understood to be the hands and legs. Being helped by the hands and legs, the living entity performs all kinds of work and moves hither and thither.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Vaiśaṣa, the sense object of the anus, means hell. Lubdhaka is the anus sense organ. The two blind men are the hands and feet, by which men perform action and move about.
