- **Commentary:**
=== कर्ता-क्रिया-विधान / S-V-O Tuples ===
  This sloka eloquently depicts the vulnerability of living beings to their senses and serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of sensory indulgence. Each creature mentioned is led to its doom by a different sense: the deer is trapped by sound, the elephant by touch or smell, the moth by sight (light), the fish by taste, and the bee by scent. These serve as metaphors for the singular potency of a sense that can lead to the downfall of an individual.

The sloka suggests a reflection on human susceptibility: while these creatures may be captivated by a single sense, humans possess all five senses and thus face an intensified challenge. The rhetorical question at the end, "What then can be said of a human, who is entangled by all five?" underscores the heightened need for awareness and self-control in human life. In Vedantic philosophy, this highlights the importance of mastering one’s senses to transcend worldly bindings and strive toward higher realization, leading to liberation (moksha).

The sloka calls to mind the necessity for discernment (viveka) and dispassion (vairagya) in spiritual practice, encouraging practitioners to cultivate detachment from the sensory world to realize their true, inward nature beyond temporal pleasures and attachments.

=== Commentary (टीका) ===
This verse uses vivid metaphors to describe how creatures fall prey to their sensory indulgences. The deer is entrapped by sound, the elephant by touch, the moth by sight, the fish by taste, and the bee by smell. Each succumbs to one sensory attraction, leading to their downfall or *pañcatva* (death). In contrast, humans are exposed to all five senses, raising the complex dilemma: how they are influenced or bound by these sense objects (*viṣaya*). The *sloka* calls for awareness and self-restraint to manage the allure of sensory pleasures, emphasizing the importance of controlling the mind and senses for spiritual advancement. The underlying philosophical teaching encourages us to transcend base instincts and seek higher knowledge.
