Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
It is in accordance with the primeval order of things that the spiritual structure of the world should be protected by me from age to age. Thus my uncreate essence I lay aside and bid farewell to my unmanifest Being, when evil seems to vanquish and imperil the good.
