Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
He tells how the pupil is set to the duties of the householder's stage with "brahmacarya" and the rest. Child, now put off the dress fit for brahmacarya, and by the way told by Śambhu worship (samarcaya, pūjaya, rightly worship) the gods and the ancestors.
