Śaṅkarācārya's commentary

I, the Supreme Brahman, termed Vāsudeva, am the source of the whole world. From Me alone evolves the whole universe in all its changes, including existence and disappearance, action, effect and enjoyment. Thus thinking, the wise who know the Supreme Reality worship Me, ardently engaged in the contemplation of the Supreme Reality.
