Sri Shankara’s Commentary (Bhashya) translated by S. Sitarama Sastri

This text explains that the man who identifies the atman of all with his own, obtains as the fruits thereof, all that he longs for; because of the fact that he is the Atman of all. Whatever worlds, i.e., such as those of the manes and the rest, he covets either himself, or for others, or whatever enjoyments he wishes for the man of pure mind who is free from all grief and who knows the Atman, he obtains those worlds and those enjoyments. Therefore, i.e., because the wishes of the knower of the Atman are always realised; let one who longs for vibhutis propitiate the knower of the Atman, whose mind is purified by such knowledge, by cleaning his feet with water, personal service, prostration and the rest; therefore, he is worthy of worship.
