Commentary (टीका)
This verse highlights the distinction between sensory powers and the self. Andhatva (blindness), mandatva (slowness), and patutva (acuity) are characteristics attributed to the senses, specifically the cakṣuḥ or the eyes. Bādhirya (deafness) and mūkatva (muteness) apply to the ears and other senses. These qualities arise from sauguṇya (virtues) and vaiguṇya (faults) and do not pertain to the ātmā or self of the vettu (knower). The ātmā remains unaffected by the limitations or virtues attributed to sensory organs. Thus, the verse emphasizes the importance of distinguishing sensory attributes from the true self, which is knowledge itself, untouched by physical or mental conditions.
