This verse elaborates on the ignorant persons previously mentioned (verse 123), who are not qualified for understanding rasa. Phalgu-vairāgya means those practicing renunciation with indifference to bhakti. Śuṣka-jñānāḥ means those practicing knowledge which is indifferent to bhakti. Haitukāḥ refers to those who are absorbed only in logic. Mīmāṁsakāḥ refers to those absorbed in pūrva-mīmāṁsa (karma) or some of those involved with uttara-mīmāṁsa (Vedānta), who insist that duality is illusory. [Note: Some followers of Vedānta are Vaiṣṇavas. They are not included among these condemned Mīmāṁsakas.] Those mentioned later in the list are more thoroughly excluded from tasting bhakti. Some of the logicians, who have studied with zeal subjects like poetic techniques, will be able to understand a little about rasa in a general way. Thus they are placed before the mīmāṁsakas. Those who are called materialistic (grāmyaiḥ) in verse 123 are equated with the false renunciates (vairāgya-nirdagdhāḥ). The dried up jñānīs, the logicians and mīmāṁsakas are equated with the ignorant (ajñāiḥ) (since they have mistaken knowledge about rasa).
