Commentary (टीका)
This sloka reveals the omnipresent and creative potential of the 'manaḥ' (mind), detailing how it incessantly fabricates, through both sthūla' (gross) and sūkṣma (subtle) means, a myriad of experiences for the bhoktṛ (experiencer). These include fundamental categories like śarīra (body), varṇa (class), āśrama (life stage), and jāti (caste), alongside various guṇa (qualities), kriyā (actions), and their hetu-phala (causes and effects). The verse stresses the perpetuity of this mental dynamism, urging a discernment beyond these transient fabrications towards the essential self, which is untouched by such distinctions. This reflective thought augments one's understanding of Advaita Vedanta, which advocates for recognizing the ultimate truth of the non-dual self beyond illusions projected by the mind.
