=== Commentary (टीका) ===
This shloka emphasizes the importance of *svātma-tattva-anusandhāna*, or the inquiry into one's own true essence, as seen by some as the highest form of *bhakti* or devotion. It suggests that a *tattva-jijñāsuḥ*, a seeker of ultimate truths, should be well-equipped with the necessary means for spiritual practice. This seeker must approach a *prājña* (wise) *guru*, as such a teacher holds the knowledge necessary for *bandha-vimokṣaṇa*, the liberation from the fetters of worldly existence. The relationship between a *guru* and the seeker is emphasized as essential for spiritual awakening and freedom.
