Godhead; rohanti—do grow (produce other bodies); yatha—just as;
karambha-bijani—sterilized or fried seeds; jfdna-atmani—in You,
whose existence is in full knowledge; aguna-maye—who is not affected
by the material qualities; guna-ganatah—from the material qualities;

TRANSLATION

O Supreme Lord, if persons obsessed with material desires for
sense gratification through material opulence worship You, who
are the source of all knowledge and are transcendental to material
qualities, they are not subject to material rebirth, just as sterilized
or fried seeds do not produce plants. Living entities are subjected
to the repetition of birth and death because they are conditioned
by material nature, but since You are transcendental, one who
is inclined to associate with You in transcendence escapes the
conditions of material nature.

PURPORT
This is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (4.9), wherein the Lord says:
janma karma ca me divyam
evam yo vetti tattvatah
