Gist of the sloka:
Such a person need not perform any karmas nor perform any karmas, for both such state has no prohibiting effect on him. He will not have any dependence on anyone.
Explanation:
In this samadhi state, he will have no hunger, thirst or awareness of the world. In such a state, he will neither gain anything more by doing karma or lose anything due to lack of doing karma. He will have no obligation to do any karma either.
He will not need the pancha boothas [earth, water, air, fire and sky] or the five koshas [bodies]. He would have no affection towards the populace nor enmity. He would have no obligations to the world. He would be forever immersed in the Lord and would have no obligatory karmas.
