96:4 Amritogovrisherwarah is one name. 96:5 These are names for different portions of time. 97:1 The Srutis declare that Fire is his head, the Sun and the Moon are his eyes, etc. 97:2 Mahadeva has an image in the country of the Kalingas that is called Vyaghreswara. 98:1 Kantah is thus explained. Kasya Sukhasya antah sima. 99:1 Undivided, i.e., having nothing else for its object, Sarva-bhavatah is bhagvat. The sense is that unless one becomes conversant with all the modes of worshipping Bhava, i.e., in thought, word and deed, and unless one has special good luck, one cannot have such devotion to Bhava. 99:2 There are numerous instances of the gods having become alarmed at the penances of men and done their best to nullify those penances by despatching celestial nymphs for attracting them of carnal pleasures.
