=== Commentary (टीका) ===
Just as fire turns fuel to ashes, the ''jñānāgni'' (fire of knowledge) destroys all ''karma'' (actions). Swami Sivananda's commentary suggests that actions, when burnt by this fire of knowledge, lose their efficacy to bind one to the cycle of birth and death. This highlights the transformative power of ''jñāna'' wherein actions can't generate future bondage. ''Jñāna'' obliterates the root of actions by removing ignorance and agencymentality. Thereby, ''prārabdha'' (fate due to past actions) remains but loses its painful/favorable significance on the enlightened, as realization transcends dualities of pleasure and pain. Swami Ramsukhdas translates ''jñāna'' into practical spiritual freedom, where the illusion of separate agency is lifted, showing all nature and hence its actions apart from the self. Once seen, even elementary karmic bonds dissolve, and only ''Paramātma'' (the ultimate self) remains.
