Shankaracharya. Deva-vratāḥ deveṣu vrataṃ niyamo bhaktiś ca yeṣāṃ; pitṛ-vratāḥ śrāddhādi-kriyā-parāḥ; bhūtāni vināyaka-mātṛ-gaṇa-catur-bhaginy-ādīni — bhoot yaani Vinaayak, Maatrigan, Chaturbhagini aadi (Shankara ki soochi); mad-yājinaḥ … vaiṣṇavāḥ mām eva yānti; samāne api āyāse mām eva na bhajante ajñānāt, tena te alpa-phala-bhājaḥ — mehnat barabar, par agyaan se mujhe nahin bhajte, isliye alp phal.
Aacharya Ramanuja — "vrata" = sankalp. Vrata-śabdaḥ saṃkalpa-vācī — vrat yaani sankalp; "Indra aadi ko poojenge" sankalp wale unhe; "pitaron ko poojenge" wale pitaron ko; yakṣa-rakṣaḥ-piśācādīni bhūtāni — yaksh, raakshas, pishaach aadi bhooton ke sankalp wale unhe; par ye tu taiḥ eva yajñaiḥ deva-pitṛ-bhūta-śarīrakaṃ paramātmānaṃ bhagavantaṃ vāsudevaṃ yajāmaḥ iti māṃ yajante — jo unhi yagyon se dev-pitar-bhoot jinka sharir hain un Vasudev ko poojte hain, ve mujhe paate hain.
