Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Sovereignly,’— the position of the master, lordship,
‘Happiness’—being happy.
‘Grains’—such as Vrīhi, Māṣa, Mudga, and so forth. In connection with the giving of sesamum, another result has been described.
‘Brahman’ means Veda; ‘ṛṣṭi’ is condition;—‘sāṛṣṭi’ is one who has the same condition;—the change of ‘samāna’ into ‘sa’ being the Vedic form;—‘ṛṣṭi’ is derived from the root ‘ṛṣi,’ to ‘go;’—or ‘sāṛṣṭi’ may mean the character of acting. In another case, the meaning is that he obtains ‘equality’ with—the same condition of existence as—Brahman.—(232)
