Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
They give themselves up to desires, and perform acts, their hearts being always full with the passion for enjoyment of the objects of the senses. While performing the diverse actions they never neglect the prescribed forms and procedure, and are very particular in performing religious acts in an expert way.
