munayah-great sages; padavim-path; yasya-whose; nihsaṅgena-by detachment; uru-janmabhih-after many births; na-never; viduh-understood; mrgayantah-searching for; api-certainly; tivra-yoga-severe austerities; samadhina-by trance.
Narada Muni continued: After trying this process for many, many births and remaining unattached to material contamination, placing themselves continually in trance and executing many types of austerities, many mystic yogis could not find the end of the path of God realization.
