Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
From a man whose understanding is confused, who does not know what is to be done and not done, harm to himself and harm to others arises at every step. Therefore the king or the lord of the circle should punish with bodily and money punishment people too attached to wine and intoxicating things.
