Commentary

Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated

He gives the sentence of permission to be made on the side of the fathers and of the maternal grandfathers with "viśvān" and the rest. O Pārvatī, on the side of the fathers, and likewise on the side of the maternal grandfathers, the permission is declared leaving out the Viśvedevas. The sentence of permission on the side of the fathers is: oṁ adya amuke māsi amuka-pakṣe amuka-tithau amuka-karmābhyudayārtham amuka-gotrāṇāṁ nāndīmukhānāṁ pitṛ-pitāmaha-prapitāmahānām amukāmukāmuka-devaśarmaṇām amuka-gotrāṇāṁ nāndīmukhīnāṁ mātṛ-pitāmahī-prapitāmahīnām amukyamukyamukīnāṁ devīnāṁ cābhyudayikaṁ śrāddhaṁ kuśanirmitayor viprayor ahaṁ kariṣye. On the side of the maternal grandfathers the sentence of permission is to be made in the same way.
