Meaning
The commentary glosses "aśnan" as enjoying: he takes what his past karma (prārabdha) brings, and adds nothing to it. "Dhātu-parigraha" means holding precious metal, that is, money. These are the one rule of the highest kind, and he is otherwise beyond rule.
Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
Aśnan: enjoying.
