Rendering based on ALkoNdavilli gOvindhAchArya swAmy’s English translation of gIthA bhAshyam
‘Yet more, I shall declare, of the best wisdom of wisdoms, having which the Munis all have, from hence[1. i.e., from the sphere of samsāra.], passed to perfection.’
The Blessed Lord continued:
Param=yet more, of the wisdom concerning satva etc., the qualities influencing the matter-soul union different from what has been told. This wisdom surpasses all that has yet been told you relating to this union.
Munis=those who possessing this wisdom ponder over it; and pass on to the supreme state of spiritual realization (siddhi), from hence i.e., from the sphere of samsāra.
This wisdom is extolled, viewing it by its fruits:
