Commentary

Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated

Now he tells the father's kin with "pituḥ" and the rest. The father's mother, the grandmother; the father's father, the grandfather; the father's brother, the paternal uncle; the sons of the father's brother and of the father's sister; and the brothers of the father's father, of the grandfather: these are to be known as the father's kin.
