Commentary (टीका)
The sloka conveys that all activities in this world are carried out by the guṇas or qualities originating from prakṛti, or nature. In Vedantic terms, prakṛti is the primal nature composed of three guṇas – sattva, rajas, and tamas, which influence all actions and manifestations in the universe. However, due to the delusion caused by ego (ahaṅkāra), individuals perceive themselves as the 'doer' of actions. This error in perception arises from identifying the Self with the body, mind, and senses.
The English commentary by Swami Sivananda and Hindi commentary by Swami Ramsukhdas both emphasize how the ego misleads an individual into self-identification with the action. The true Vedantic insight is that the Self is akarta, non-doer, and remains unaffected by the actions which are, in reality, carried out under the operation of prakṛti's guṇas. The power of perception shaped by ego, creates a false notion of identity with the body and senses, which further anchors an individual in ignorance, suffering, and the cycle of karma.
