Commentary: Sārārtha-Varṣiṇī Ṭīkā

(By Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura; the innermost intention of the commentary named ‘the shower of essential meanings’)

The phrase bhūta-viśeṣāṇāṃ means ‘all those living entities born from the womb, from eggs and from perspiration’. The words kamalāsana-stham indicates ‘Lord Brahmā, who is situated on Mount Sumeru, which is like the lotus-whorl of the universe’.
