316 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 5, Ch. 9
eva—indeed; paryavasita—settled; matayah—whose minds; na—not;
para-vidyayam—in the transcendental knowledge of spiritual life
(devotional service); jada-matih—most dull intelligence; iti—thus;
bhrétuh—their brother (Jada Bharata); anusdsana-nirbandhat—from
the endeavor to teach; nyavurtsanta—stopped.
TRANSLATION

After the father died, the nine stepbrothers of Jada Bharata,
who considered Jada Bharata dull and brainless, abandoned the
father’s attempt to give Jada Bharata a complete education. The
stepbrothers of Jada Bharata were learned in the three Vedas—the
Rg Veda, Sama Veda and Yajur Veda—which very much encourage
fruitive activity. The nine brothers were not at all spiritually
enlightened in devotional service to the Lord. Consequently they
could not understand the highly exalted position of Jada Bharata.
