Commentary

Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated

O you whose form is that tattva, endowed with the nature of each tattva: making the arghya, the wine for worship, one in savour with that form, the form whose essence is the chief sweetness, endowed with the chief sweetness, and becoming the substance in the form of Kula nectar, of sudhā, make a shining forth (visphuraṇa), a radiance, in me.
