Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

Just see, could the clouds hold their own before the stormy all-enveloping winds blowing, when the universal conflagration sends smoke in rushing torrents into the sky at the dissolution of the universe? Or could the hay and dry wood ever extinguish the fire of universal conflagration fanned by the stormy winds and capable even of burning immense waters?
