स्वयं परिच्छेदमुपेत्य बुद्धे-
स्तादात्म्यदोषेण परं मृषात्मनः ।
सर्वात्मकः सन्नपि वीक्षते स्वयं
स्वतः पृथक्त्वेन मृदो घटानिव ॥ १९० ॥
190. Though the Self of everything that exists, this
Atman, Itself assuming the limitations of the buddhi¹ and
wrongly identifying Itself with this totally unreal entity,
looks upon Itself as something different2-like carthen jars
from the clay of which they are made.
[1 Buddhi-Here stands for the knowledge sheath.
2As something different-As conditioned and bound, just as an
ignorant man may consider carthen pots as something distinct from the
clay of which they are made. The wise man knows that the difference
is simply due to name and form, which are creations of the mind. ]

उपाधिसम्बन्धवशात्परात्मा
ह्यपाधिधर्माननुभाति तद्गुणः ।
अयोविकारानविकारिवह्निव-
त्सदैकरूपोऽपि परः स्वभावात् ॥ १९१ ॥

191. Owing to Its connection with the superimposi-
tions, the Supreme Self, even though naturally perfect and
eternally unchanging, assumes the qualities of the super-
impositions and appears to act just as they do-like the
changeless fire assuming the modifications of the iron
which it turns red-hot.

[INaturally perfect - Or the phrase पर: स्वभावात् may mean "tran-
scending Nature".
2 Modifications- Such as size and shape.]
