"केशवविष्णुमुखनिर्गतशापान्म्लेच्छाधिगततिग्ममरीचेः ॥रोमके च पुरि लब्धमशेषं तद्द्विजातिभिरतोध्ययनीयमि"ति ।
'The sharp-rayed Sun became a foreigner by a curse from the mouths of Keshava and Vishnu. All this science was received from him in the city of Romaka. So it should be studied by the twice-born.'
Simple meaning: 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.
यदा च तदेव प्रमेयं केनचित्सुबुद्धिना समरसिंहादिना अधीतं तदीयं ज्योतिःशास्त्रेण दृढतरसंस्काराद्व्यक्तसंज्ञापरिभाषेण संस्कृतशब्दैरुपनिबद्धश्चेत्पठ्यते तदा न कोपि दोष इति ज्ञेयम् ॥
No fault: reading Samarasimha's Sanskrit Tajika is allowed.
'न वदेद्यावनीं भाषामे'तद्वचनं तु यावनीयकाव्यालंकारादिविषयकमितिसिद्धांतः ॥
The ban explained: the rule against the foreign tongue is about foreign poetry, not this science.
