What was the purpose of the 'Ishavasya-Bhavartha-Bodhini' that Ganudas was writing, as mentioned in Chapter 20?

πŸ“– Chapter 20

As explained in Chapter 20, the 'Ishavasya-Bhavartha-Bodhini' was a commentary on the Ishavasya Upanishad that Ganudas (Das Ganu) was composing. His primary motivation was to make the profound teachings of this scripture accessible to people who were "ignorant of the Sanskrit language." He aimed to elaborate on the meaning of each word through Ovi verses, translating the concepts into a simple Prakrit language. The chapter highlights this noble intention but also notes the difficulty he faced when the literal translation failed to capture the deep, internal secrets of the Upanishad, which ultimately led him to seek Sai Baba's guidance.
