[…] le sage Bhāgavata, né dans la famille de la ville de Thnal Vnaḥ, le cœur constamment dévoué à Hari,

ce haṁsa réfléchissant continuellement sur l’impermanence de son moi purifié par la connaissance, à cause de cela a donné à Hari un bol de beurre fondu (avec une lampe?).

Commentary

The expression sa haṅso in line 2 can be also understood as sahaṁso meaning "with the haṁsa".
