== अज्ञान ही बन्धन का मूल कारण है | Ignorance is the root cause of bondage ==

=== Summary (in English) ===
The sloka reveals that the cycle of suffering arises from *ajñāna* (ignorance), which results in *anātma-bandha* (bondage to the non-self). This bondage is characterized as *naisargikaḥ* (natural), *anādi* (beginningless), and *ananta* (endless). The sufferings manifest as a series of life burdens — birth (*janma*), decay (*apyaya*), illness (*vyādhi*), and old age (*jarā*). The passage indicates that escaping such a cycle involves realizing one's true self, free from ignorance.

=== सारांश ===
इस श्लोक में बताया गया है कि *अज्ञान* (मूर्खता) से *अनात्मबन्धन* (गैर-आत्मा का बन्धन) उत्पन्न होता है। यह बंधन *नैसर्गिक* (प्राकृतिक), *अनादि* (आदिहीन) और *अनन्त* (अन्तहीन) के रूप में वर्णित किया गया है। जन्म, क्षय, रोग, और वृद्धावस्था जैसी जीवन की दुखदाएँ इसी बंधन के परिणामस्वरूप आती हैं। इस चक्र से मुक्ति पाने का मार्ग अपने सत्य आत्मा की पहचान में निहित है, जो अज्ञानता की बेड़ियों से स्वतंत्र है।
