King Citraketu said: O great lord Aṅgirā, because of austerity, knowledge and transcendental samādhi, you are freed from all the reactions of sinful life. Therefore, as a perfect yogī, you can understand everything external and internal regarding embodied, conditioned souls like us.

Translation
King Citraketu said: What is not known in all embodied beings externally and internally by yogīs who have destroyed all sins by austerity, knowledge and samādhi?
Śarīriṣu means “persons like me.”

Personal Guidance
Citraketu acknowledges: you, freed from sin by austerity and samādhi, can perceive everything within and without me. Naming the teacher's qualifications is part of speaking properly.
Reflection Questions
- Do I acknowledge what makes my teacher capable, or treat them as a coincidence?
- What benefit comes from articulating the qualification aloud?
