I tried to find this text online but I couldnt find anything.. Every where I look I find it in sanskrit only.. sorry I couldnt be more of a help.

I did some more research and found this for you

You can look up each word in the purport and translate it with this PDF..

It shouldnt be too hard.. I used to do this with the Bible and Greek/Aramaic dictionaries. Hope this helps

Well I spent a half hour looking up "Sa" and found that it means "he" so thats one word down about 100 more to go.. its tedious..

Maybe you should post this question at the Sanskrit forum at this site.. You might find better info there..

As I have read, this purport is not by Sri Prabhupada but by Sri Visvanatha Cakravarti Ṭhakura.
