In plain words
To burn away their own moha, the greatest among sages — the vīṇā-player first, then Vyāsa's own son — came and worshipped him. See what he holds in his lotus hands: the Saṃvid-mudrā, a book, a vīṇā, a string of beads. Him I hold in contemplation — turned inward, and facing south.
Close to the Sanskrit
For the destruction of moha, the foremost—beginning with the vīṇā-player and Vyāsa’s son—worshipped him who bears in his lotus hands the Saṃvid-mudrā, a book, a vīṇā, and a string of beads; him, the inward-facing, south-faced one, I contemplate.
