Srila Prabhupada continues that the senses also have to be controlled in Krishna’s service. And he quotes Rupa Goswami for Phalgu Varagya, and Yukta Varagya.

Phalgu Vairagya means false Vairagya.

prāpañcikatayā buddhyā
hari-sambandhi-vastunaḥ
mumukṣubhiḥ parityāgo
vairāgyaṁ phalgu kathyate

(Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.2.258)

Prāpañcikatayā buddhyā, prāpañcikatayā means mundane, material. That buddhi, which one thinks, objects connected with Lord Hari is mundane. Mumukṣubhiḥ parityāgo, one who thinks them as mundane, and mumukṣubhiḥ, one who is aspiring for liberation, gives up Parityāgo such objects, such a person is called vairāgyaṁ phalgu kathyate.

That vairagya is considered phalgu, it is lower-class vairagya. So the point is, how does one control his senses? One has to fix the mind and senses on Krishna. And how does one do that? By using the senses in the service of Krishna. And we can use material things in Krishna’s service.

Prabhupada’s point is, how we can avoid dhyayato? We cannot close our eyes and walk. Whatever we are using, use it in Krishna’s service. And that way, we can avoid dhyayato. Prabhupada gives the example of how a devotee can take prasad, whereas an impersonalist can fall back because there is no higher taste available for him.

So, this answers the third question, which was kim asita.
