Commentary

Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated

First giving "maṁ vahnimaṇḍalāya", then after "daśa" giving "kalātmane", and at the end giving namaḥ, he should worship the disc of fire. That is, with the mantra "maṁ vahnimaṇḍalāya daśakalātmane namaḥ" he should honour the disc of fire in the stand.
