Commentary (टीका)
This verse underscores the concept that actions that have commenced before enlightenment do not cease merely due to the acquisition of knowledge until they have given their results, similar to an arrow that does not stop mid-air once released until it hits its target. It illustrates the inevitability of karma and the limitation of knowledge in altering already initiated actions. Knowledge, jñāna, although transformative, does not erase the effects of prior actions, purārabdha karma. Instead, the effects must be lived through, akin to an arrow's irreversible flight once released.
