Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
Men who wish their own good should be devoted to the good of the world: this he tells with "adhīśena" and the rest. Since the universe, the world, is guarded (avita, protected) by the Supreme Lord (adhīśa), the Lord of the world, people who wish to destroy it, who want to bring it to ruin (ninaṅkṣu), come to ruin themselves, reach destruction; but its protectors, those who guard the universe, the Lord of the universe protects, guards. For that reason a man should be devoted to the good of the world (lokahita). In "naś" the causative sense is included. [The commentary closes:] Thus ends the twelfth ullāsa in the commentary on the Śrī Mahānirvāṇa Tantra.
