Meaning
The commentary heads the sarga: hearing the story of her former life, Līlā was afraid it could not be; the goddess teaches her with many examples and arguments. The tale's secret is now told plainly: the brahmin Vasiṣṭha is King Padma, and Arundhatī is Līlā herself. The world Līlā lives in is the dead brahmin's wish come true.
