Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
"Vasudhārām" and the rest. Having made the vasudhārā (the stream of wealth) by the way I have told, the steady one, the discerning performer, lays out the sthaṇḍila, the square, installs the fire there, purifies the materials of the homa and cooks the caru, which is "anuttama", unsurpassed, having none higher than itself.
