śrutipramāṇāt: by the śrutis which were the ground of the guru's instructions. Or, as sastra is mentioned separately, it may mean on the authority of the sastra in the form of śruti. Vide: śāstram yuktiḥ desikoktiḥ pramāņam cantassiddhā svānubhutiḥ pramā"The pramāņas (grounds of proof) are sastra, reasoning, the words of a guru and inner self-experience."
nam:
atmayuktyā: by meditating on the substance got from the guru as well as śrutis.
param satattvam:
avagamya:
the supreme truth namely Brahman.
on understanding.
prasamitakaranaḥ: he whose sense-organs like the eye etc., have been perfectly controlled.
Or, taking yukti to refer to yoga and by the definition of yoga as cittavṛttinirodha: control of the mental modifications, ātmayuktyä may mean with the external organs well-controlled by the restraint of the mind's modifications.
samāhitātmā: samyagahitaḥ brahmaņi ātmā yasya: by whom or whose antaḥkarana is thus well-established in Brahman. Even after control of the eyes etc., by the restraint of the mind, ātmaniṣṭhā, establishment in the ātmā may not happen; hence the reference to samāhitātmā.
kvacit: in a lonely place.
acalakṛtiḥ: immovable like a mountain.
atmaniṣṭhitaḥ: Brahmanisthaḥ: established in Brahman. Or one to whom ātmaniṣṭhā has arisen.
abhūt: became.
