Commentary (टीका)
This sloka illustrates a profound principle of Vedantic philosophy regarding the nature of the Self. The five sheaths (pañca-kośa) – annamaya (physical), prāṇamaya (vital), manomaya (mental), vijñānamaya (intellectual), and ānandamaya (bliss), are superimposed upon the Self due to ignorance. Through the process of logical analysis (yukti) and the teachings of the scriptures (śruti), these sheaths are negated, revealing the underlying reality. What remains, when all adjuncts are stripped away, is the sākṣī or the witness, which is pure consciousness (bodharūpa). Vedanta invites seekers to experience this ultimate truth, urging a shift in identity from the transient to the eternal. The verse is a contemplation on recognizing the essence devoid of layers of cognition, driving home the point that in essence, the Self is non-dual and beyond attributes.
