Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
"Aim" and the rest. First he should say aiṁ hrāṁ hrīṁ. Then, after the word "sarva", he should say "duṣṭān nāśaya nāśaya". Put together, the mantra formed is aiṁ hrāṁ hrīṁ sarvaduṣṭān nāśaya nāśaya. Svāhāvasānaḥ: ending in svāhā; this is declared to be the mantra of Maṅgala.
