Falling on the ground, smeared with blood, he moves around like a worm and cries loudly. Having lost knowledge of his previous existence, he enters into ignorance. He moves like a worm (viṣṭhā-bhūḥ). Rorūyati should be rorūyate. His knowledge of previous existence is gone (gate jṣāne) and becomes forgetful of that state (viparītāṁ gatim). Even the devotee jīva’s knowledge is generally covered from childhood because of the nature of things. By a little association, he has his previous impressions aroused, and attains the Lord by his devotion.
