Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
He tells in order the very mantras not told in the rite of worship of the First, "sarvabhūtāntarasthāya" and the rest. O Deva, he who stands within all beings is "sarvabhūtāntarastha"; to him, "sarvabhūtāntarasthāya". To the inner Self of all beings. I prepare, I offer, to you a seat to sit on; to you salutation, salutation be. With this mantra he should give the seat to the deity.
