- **Commentary:**
=== कर्ता-क्रिया-विधान / S-V-O Tuples ===
  This sloka highlights the inefficacy of external knowledge and practices if one lacks realization of the ultimate truth, or Brahman. The metaphor of being bitten by a snake illustrates the destructive power of ignorance—it is not mere intellectual absence but a condition that actively leads one astray. Much like a snakebite requires a specific antidote, the antidote for ignorance is Brahma-jnana, the realization of one's true nature as Brahman, the eternal truth and consciousness. The Vedas, other scriptures, mantras, and even medicine are traditionally regarded as sources of spiritual and material healing. However, without the essential understanding of self and reality, they cannot resolve the fundamental problem of ignorance that veils the truth. Thus, the sloka emphasizes that ultimate liberation and peace come not from external rituals or learning but from self-realization. The quest, therefore, is directed inward, urging seekers to prioritize the introspective journey towards self-awareness over external validations and routines.

This verse underscores the futility of relying solely on external texts and rituals when one is afflicted by the deep-seated ignorance likened to a serpent's bite. Just as ordinary medicine cannot cure a snake's venom, scriptural knowledge, mantras, and rituals cannot replace the direct realization and knowledge of Brahman. This highlights the importance of true spiritual realization, indicating that 'Brahma-jñāna' or the knowledge of Brahman is the ultimate remedy for spiritual ignorance.
