The author of the Manōramā says: mūrkhā hi dēvānāḥ prītiḥ janayanti dēvapaśutvdt; to which is added in my MSS. the marginal note mūrkhā hīti | brahmajñānarahitā ity=arthaḥ | tē hi paśuvad=dēvaniyamās= tad=āha dēvapaśutvād=iti |. And the Tattvabōdhinī, in commenting on the above passage of the Manōramā, has: brahmajānarahilatvāt=saṁsāriṇō mūrkhās=tē tu yāgādikarmāṇy = anuṭishthantaḥ purōḍāśādipradānadvārā dēvānām=atyantaprītiṁ janayanti | brahmajñāninas=tu na tathā tēshāṁ yāgādyanushṬhānābhāvāt | atō gavā-disthānāpannatvān=mūrkhā ēva dēvapaśava iti |.
