Jīva Gosvāmī passes this verse over. He offers no comment on it.

Recorded as it stands in the source — a bare note that Jīva's commentary is silent at this verse, not an omission on our part.

yauthikyaḥare what 'yauthikī' namesयौथिकी (कहलाती हैं)
yūthe bhavāḥ — those arising in a group; yauthikyaḥ — are the yauthikī.
'यूथ में होने वाली' — इसी से 'यौथिकी' शब्द बनता है।
Viśvanātha unpacks the word itself. Yauthikī means those who arise in a yūtha, a group. The name just says: belonging to the troop.
जो यूथ (समूह) में रहती हैं, वे 'यौथिकी' कहलाती हैं।
A taddhita derivation: yūtha + the locative sense 'born/arising in' yields the adjective yauthikī.

sambhūya — 'having come together'; militvā — means having joined; sādhane niratāḥ — they are absorbed in sādhana.
'सम्भूय' का अर्थ है 'मिलकर'; (वे) साधन में लीन रहती हैं।
The verse's saṁbhūya, 'having come together,' he glosses as militvā — having joined. Joined in this way, they are absorbed in sādhana.
'सम्भूय' यानी मिलकर — और वे साधन में लीन रहती हैं।

kiṁ gaṇaśaḥ — what is 'gaṇaśaḥ'?; gaṇena gaṇena gaṇena iti — 'by group, by group, by group'; avāntar-gaṇāḥ api bahavaḥ — even the sub-groups are many; tatra yūthe tiṣṭhanti — they exist within that yūtha; iti arthaḥ — this is the sense.
'गणशः' कैसे? — 'गण-गण करके', अर्थात् उस यूथ में अनेक अवान्तर-गण भी रहते हैं — यही अर्थ है।
What does gaṇaśaḥ mean? He reads it distributively: 'by group, by group, by group.' The point is that even the sub-groups — the avāntara-gaṇas — are many, and they all exist inside that one yūtha. That is the sense.
'गणशः' का अर्थ है गण-गण करके। तात्पर्य यह कि उस एक यूथ में भीतर के अनेक अवान्तर-गण भी रहते हैं।
