Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
He gives the sentence of permission to be made on the side of the gods with "kālādīni" and the rest. First naming the time and the other occasions, then saying "tattat-karmābhyudayārtham" ("for the prosperity of such-and-such a rite"), the best of sādhakas, uttering the gotra and the name, should say in the genitive the names of the three fathers and the rest, and of the three mothers and the rest, and likewise of the three maternal grandfathers and the three maternal grandmothers; then he should say "viśveṣāṁ devānām" ("of the Viśvedevas"); then he should say the word "śrāddha" and afterwards he should say "kuśanirmitayor viprayor aham", "I, through the two vipras made of kuśa"; then he should say "kariṣye", "I shall perform". With all the words put together: viṣṇur oṁ tat sat oṁ adya amuka-māsi amuka-pakṣe amuka-tithau amuka-karmābhyudayārtham amuka-gotrāṇāṁ nāndīmukhānāṁ pitṛ-pitāmaha-prapitāmahānām amukāmukāmuka-devaśarmaṇām amuka-gotrāṇāṁ nāndīmukhīnāṁ mātṛ-pitāmahī-prapitāmahīnām amukyamukyamukīnāṁ devīnāṁ ca amuka-gotrāṇāṁ nāndīmukhānāṁ mātāmaha-pramātāmaha-vṛddhapramātāmahānām amukāmukāmuka-devaśarmaṇāṁ ca amuka-gotrāṇāṁ nāndīmukhīnāṁ mātāmahī-pramātāmahī-vṛddhapramātāmahīnām amukyamukyamukīnāṁ devīnāṁ ca viśveṣāṁ devānām ābhyudayikaṁ śrāddhaṁ kuśanirmitayor viprayor ahaṁ kariṣye: this is the sentence that results. O Parameśānī, this is the sentence of permission declared for the side of the gods. [In sense: "Viṣṇu, oṁ tat sat. Today, in such a month, fortnight and lunar day, for the prosperity of such a rite, I shall perform, through the two vipras made of kuśa, the ābhyudayika śrāddha of the nāndīmukha fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers of such a gotra, so-and-so; of the nāndīmukhī mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers; of the maternal grandfathers and the rest, and the maternal grandmothers and the rest; and of the Viśvedevas."]
