Śaṅkarācārya's commentary
All their senses (prāṇas) such as the eye are absorbed in Me. Or — according to another interpretation — their very life (prāṇa) is devoted to Me. They ever speak of Me as possessed of supreme wisdom, power, might and other qualities. They thus obtain satisfaction and are delighted as if in the company of the beloved.
