sa tvaṁ vicakṣya mṛga-ceṣṭitam ātmano 'ntaś
cittaṁ niyaccha hṛdi karṇa-dhunīṁ ca citte

Reflecting on the actions of the deer, fix your mind within yourself in the heart, and understand the futility of the attractive results of karma. Give up household life and the topics discussed by materialists. Accept the simple cottage of the devotees. Gradually become detached.
In this verse he makes the meaning clear. Vicakṣya is poetic license. It means considering in the context. Place the mind (cittam) within the heart (antaḥ hṛdi). Also place in the heart what is like the sweet sound of a river for the ears. The śruti promises sweet results such as apāma somam amṛtā abhūma: we drank soma and became immortal. You should merge that knowledge in your heart. This means “After considering the results of karma-kāṇḍa, understand it is useless.” Accept the shelter of the swans. This means accept the leaf hut of the renounced devotees. Or it can mean please the Supreme Lord, who is the shelter of the devotees.

śrutam anvīkṣitaṁ brahman

naitaj jānanty upādhyāyāḥ
kiṁ na brūyur vidur yadi
The King said: O brāhmaṇa! I have heard and considered what you have spoken. The teachers do not know this. If they knew, why did they not tell me?
What you spoke has been heard and later seen (anu īkṣitam), considered and absorbed. The sages present here made me study karma. They do not know this. If they know, then why do they not tell me? From today you are my guru.
