Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
Showing those rows of gurus he says "guruṁ ca…". With the mantras "oṁ gurave namaḥ, oṁ paramagurave namaḥ, oṁ parāparagurave namaḥ, oṁ parameṣṭhigurave namaḥ", with scent, flowers and the rest, in the middle of the yantra, he should worship in order these Kula gurus: the guru, the one whose first is parama (the paramaguru), and likewise the parāparaguru and the parameṣṭhiguru.
