उक्तञ्च गणेशदेवज्ञैः ॥"ब्रह्मद्वेषितुरुष्कसंभवमिदं तार्तीयकं वर्तते शास्त्रं यद्यपि सद्विजैरपि तथाप्यध्येतुमर्हम्भवेत् ॥यस्माद्यत्सदसत्फलं निगदितं सत्यं हि किम्पङ्कजे शङ्का पङ्कभवा तथा फणिफणोत्पन्ने मणौ दूषणमि"ति ॥
And Ganesha Daivajna has said: 'This third science arose from the Turushkas (Turks), who hate Brahmins. Even so, it is fit to be studied even by good twice-born men. For the good and bad results it tells are true. Is there a doubt about a lotus because it grows in mud? Is there a fault in a jewel born on a snake's hood?'
Simple meaning: Ganesha Daivajna: though it came from the Turks, the Tajika is true, so good Brahmins may study it, like a lotus from mud.
हिल्लाजेन तु ब्रह्मविष्णुरुद्रमुखनिर्गतशापेन यवनताम्प्राप्तेन श्रीसूर्येणैव यवनशास्त्रप्रणयनाद्द्विजानामपि सूर्यसिद्धान्तवत्तदध्ययनं युक्तमित्युक्तम्॥
Hillaja's view: the Sun, cursed to be a foreigner, made the Yavana science, so Brahmins may study it like the Surya Siddhanta.
"केशवविष्णुमुखनिर्गतशापान्म्लेच्छाधिगततिग्ममरीचेः ॥
Hillaja's verse: the cursed Sun's teaching, received in Romaka city, is fit for Brahmins to study.
पुरे रोमकपत्तने ॥
A word note: the city is Romaka.
