Commentary
Praise description of the glory of the Lord. The Lord is the object worthy of adortion; love and delight; because He is the Self and friend of all beings. The Lord is the object of adoration; love and delight for the following reason also. He is the primal cause even of Brahma; the Creator of the universe.
