=== Commentary (टीका) ===
This verse underscores the folly of neglecting one's own best interests after obtaining a rare human body endowed with strength. *Mānuṣa deha* (human body) is considered a precious opportunity for spiritual growth and fulfillment of *dharma*. To engage in *pramāda* (negligence) towards one's *svārtha* (self-interest), especially after acquiring both *deha* (body) and *pauruṣa* (strength), is seen as a profound error. The sloka calls for deep introspection on the purpose of human life and employing it wisely.
