Commentary (टीका)
In this verse, the nature of the *antaḥkaraṇa* (inner consciousness) is explored. The sloka explains how this consciousness, through the prism of *abhimāna* (ego), manifests contemporaneously in the physical body and sensory organs like the eyes. It highlights the concept of *ābhāsa-tejas*, suggesting that the ego creates an illusionary brilliance, making the sense of 'I' seem real and pervasive. This insight reflects the Vedantic understanding of how self-identity is constructed and maintained through the interfaces of mind and senses.
