Translation

Being situated in a meditational trance, Kaśyapa Muni, whose vision is never mistaken, could see that a plenary portion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead had entered within him.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Kaśyapa, whose knowledge is always true, understood by absorption in samādhi that a portion of the Lord had entered within him. Avitathekṣaṇaḥ means “whose knowledge is not futile.”
