Shankara’s Commentary:
Com.—But you having beheld the end of all desires (for, here, i.e., in Hiranyagarbha, all desires are fulfilled), the support of all the worlds comprising the Adhyatma, the Adhibhuta and the Adhidaiva, i.e., (the bodies, elements and gods), the immortal goal of worship, the place of Hiranyagarbha, the extreme state of fearlessness, praiseworthy, great as combining many desirable powers such as anima (praiseworthy and great because it is unsurpassable) the boundless and unsurpassable goal of the atman, have boldly, being intelligent, rejected, wishing only for the highest, all this host of enjoyments within the pale of Samsara. Oh, what unsurpassable qualities you possess!
