Commentary (टीका)
This verse illustrates the concept of *detachment* and *self-illumination* through the metaphor of the sun and its reflection. The sun, being self-luminous, does not engage with the pot, water, and its reflection, yet it illuminates them. Similarly, an enlightened sage, denoted as *viduṣa*, remains unattached yet is aware and illuminates all experiences. This highlights the Vedantic view that realization involves recognizing the self as distinct and unaffected by the transient phenomena it perceives, akin to the sun's impartial illumination. The term *svayaṁprakāśa* underscores the inherent light of wisdom that does not rely on anything else for its existence, illustrating the non-dual nature of consciousness that witnesses the world without attachment.
