‘ātmārāmāś ca ātmārāmāś ca’ āṭānna-bāra
śeṣe saba lopa kari’ rākhi eka-bāra

ātmārāmāḥ ca ātmārāmāḥ ca — repeating ātmārāmāḥ; āṭānna-bāra — fifty-eight times; śeṣe — at the end; saba lopa kari’ — rejecting all; rākhi — we keep; eka-bāra — only one.

“In this way, one can repeat the word ‘ātmārāmāḥ’ with ‘ca’ for each of the fifty-eight meanings. By following the rule previously stated and rejecting all but the last, we retain that which represents all the meanings.
