The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Aparokṣānubhūtiḥ

Verse 136

अथ शुद्धं भवेद्वस्तु यद्वै वाचामगोचरम् ।द्रष्टव्यं मृद्घटेनैव दृष्टान्तेन पुनः पुनः ॥ १३६ ॥

In plain words

Then the Real stands pure — and it is exactly what no word can reach. See it again and again, through that one example alone: the clay and the pot.

Close to the Sanskrit

Then the Real would be pure, which indeed is beyond the range of words; it is to be seen again and again by means of the clay-and-pot illustration alone.
