Commentary (टीका)
Krishna reveals that for those who have conquered desire and anger, disciplined their minds, and realized the Self, liberation is not distant but immediately present all around them. Brahma-nirvana surrounds them on every side. This beautiful imagery suggests that liberation is not a far-off destination but the ever-present reality that is recognized when the obstacles of desire, anger, and ignorance are removed.
