What was the purpose of the 'Ishavasya-Bhavartha-Bodhini' that Das Ganu was writing?

📖 Chapter 20

The 'Ishavasya-Bhavartha-Bodhini' was a commentary on the Ishavasya Upanishad that Das Ganu had started writing. According to Chapter 20, his primary goal was to make the scripture's profound meanings accessible to the common person. The text explicitly states that the work was intended for those "ignorant of the Sanskrit language." Das Ganu's desire was to compile an explanation of the Upanishad's meaning, word by word, using simple Prakrit language (Marathi) in the form of Ovi verses. He aimed to bridge the linguistic and conceptual barrier between the complex Sanskrit original and his audience.
