The two verses (257-258) are connected. By using the definition of pure bhakti — jñāna-kārmādy-anāvṛtam — mentioned in this book (proktena lakṣaṇena), karma with its daily and occasional duties and jñāna with impersonalism have already been rejected as aṅgas of bhakti. That definition has been obtained from scriptures concerning bhakti (bhakter adhikṛtasya). Again, in order to make the point about pure bhakti clear, there is another rejection — this time of phalgu-vairāgya. [Note: In the phrase jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam, the commentary explained that ādi referred to vairāgya, yoga, sāṅkhya and other processes.]

The two verses are grammatically connected. Bhakter adhikṛtasya means “contained within the jurisdiction of bhakti scriptures.” Within vairāgya, that part which is useless (phalgu) has been rejected as an aṅga.
