he understood.

The brāhmaṇa understood that all his suffering — from other living beings, from the higher forces of nature and from his own body — was unavoidable, being allotted to him by providence.

Purport

Many cruel persons harassed the brāhmaṇa, and his own body caused him suffering in the form of fever, hunger, thirst, fatigue, etc. The higher forces of nature are those that cause excessive heat, cold, wind and rain. The brāhmaṇa realized that his suffering was due to his false identification with his material body, and not to the interaction of his body with external phenomena. Rather than try to adjust his external situation, he tried to adjust his Kṛṣṇa consciousness and thus realize his actual identity as eternal spirit soul.

Translation

The brāhmaṇa understood that all his suffering—from other living beings, from the higher forces of nature and from his own body—was unavoidable, being allotted to him by karma. He understood that the suffering from other people (bhautikam), from his body in the form of fever or other sickness (daihikam) and from nature with heat or cold was attained by karma.
