In plain words
The supreme yogi gradually reaches the seventh stage, which is the fourth state. Here, videha-mukti—liberation even while shedding the body—is known as the state beyond the fourth.
Close to the Sanskrit
The king of yogis gradually attains the fourth state as the seventh ground. Bodiless liberation is indeed spoken of here as the state transcending the fourth.
