Commentary (टीका)
In this shloka, it is explained that the Lord, or Prabhu, has no role in creating the sense of doership - kartṛtva, nor does He initiate the actions that individuals perform. The concept of doership and the resultant actions arise from one's own inherent nature or svabhāva. The living entities themselves are responsible for their actions which are driven by their nature. Whatever actions the beings perform, they do so under the influence of their own conditioning or svabhāva - this inherent nature prompts them to act, rather than any divine mandate.
The English commentary suggests that the Lord does not orchestrate actions or connect beings to the outcomes of their actions. Similarly, the Hindi commentary reflects that while the Lord remains aloof from imparting doership to any entity, actions arise out of the identity and habits that individuals develop over time due to their association with nature or prakṛti.
By understanding this verse, one learns that the purpose behind actions and the experience of their consequences lie within the self and its connection to nature, not with divine intervention. This realization helps in releasing the sense of doership, contributing to liberation or mokṣa, as one learns to dissociate from the constructed identity that presumes gets tied to actions and their results. ```
