Commentary

Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated

With name-mantras beginning with the praṇava and ending in namaḥ, with scent, flowers and the rest, having worshipped in the fire corner and the other corners of the yantra, in order, dharma, knowledge, dispassion and sovereignty, the mantrī should then worship in the eastern and other directions, in order of the directions, adharma, ignorance, lack of dispassion and lack of sovereignty. In the middle of the yantra he should worship Ananta and the lotus. (Covers verses 126 and 127.)
