Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
What is meant by this verse has already been explained.

‘He should not do anything else.’—Any other act leading to visible or invisible results,—without their permission, as has already been stated above (under 229).

‘He should always render service unto them, rejoicing in what is pleasing and beneficial to them.’—What causes them pleasure is ‘pleasing,’ and what sustains them is ‘beneficial.’—(235)
