Commentary (टीका)
In this sloka, the disciple grapples with the Vedantic teaching of the five *kośas* or sheaths—*annamaya*, *prāṇamaya*, *manomaya*, *vijñānamaya*, and *ānandamaya*—which are often expounded as layers covering the true self. The disciple, having understood their negation through *mithyātva* (falsehood), perceives only emptiness or absence. He seeks clarity from the Guru, wondering if anything remains to be known once these sheaths are dismissed. This highlights the essential question of enlightenment and realization—the discernment of what is to be understood when worldly layers are peeled away, focusing attention on the true essence or the self beyond physical and mental confines.
