Commentary

Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated

"Tataḥ" and the rest. Then, on the day after, having bathed and done his daily rites, with the sentence "oṁ adya amuka-gotraḥ śrīmad-amuka-devaśarmā ājanma-kṛtāśeṣa-duṣkṛta-kṣaya-kāmo 'muka-gotrāya amuka-devaśarmaṇe brāhmaṇāya dātuṁ kāñcana-sahitāṁs tilān aham utsṛje" ("I, so-and-so, desiring the destruction of all the wrongs I have done since birth, give sesame with gold to the brāhmaṇa so-and-so"), he should give sesame and gold for the destruction of the sins done since birth. With a sentence made in the same way he should also give one dish of food for the satisfaction of the Kaulas.
