Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
That which is born is to disappear or what disappears is to be visible again. In this way, rotates the wheel of time over and over again. Just as the sun-rise and sun-set, automatically take place eternally, so do the birth and death exist of certainty in the world. At the time of the world dissolution all the three worlds come to an end, and therefore beginning and end are unavoidable everywhere. If this appeals itself to you why do you become distressed and why do you show ignorance, knowing all, you Dhanurdhara? Viewed from the various points, there exists no reason for you to lament.
