Commentary (टीका)
This sloka emphasizes the recognition of the true nature of the Self, referred to as prajñāna-ghana, meaning the undifferentiated mass of consciousness. This term acts as the true marker of the Self, bypassing all illusions or adjuncts (aupādika) that veils one's real nature. The dissolution or vināśanam of these adjuncts is crucial in attaining self-awareness. In Vedantic philosophy, understanding the Self as detached from temporal identifications and conditions leads one to the realization of absolute truth or satya. The sloka suggests a pathway where the wise negate all superficial attributions to reveal the intrinsic nature of the Self.
