Commentary (टीका)
This verse addresses the profound philosophical theme of *ajñāna* (ignorance) as the root cause of bondage, identified as *anātma-bandha* (bondage to the non-self). It highlights the perpetual and inherent nature of this bondage, described as *naisargikaḥ* (natural), *anādi* (beginningless), and *ananta* (endless). The sloka underscores the resultant cascade of *duḥkha* (suffering) evident in birth (*janma*), decay (*apyaya*), illness (*vyādhi*), old age (*jarā*), and others. The imagery suggests the inescapable impact of ignorance on human experience, elaborating on the cycle of suffering it perpetuates. Understanding one's true self, free from the chains of ignorance, is implied as the way toward liberation.
