Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
"Iti" and the rest. Having thus instructed the dvija, the twice-born pupil endowed with twice-born status, and given him leave, afterwards, into the fire named Samudbhava, with the mantra of the three, bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ, beginning with māyā, the seed hrīṁ, and ending with praṇava, oṁkāra (hrīṁ bhūr bhuvaḥ svar oṁ), having the pupil offer three times, and doing the sviṣṭakṛt homa, the ācārya, giving the full oblation, should complete the vrata rite, the act of investiture with the sacred thread.
