देहोऽहमित्ययं मूढो मत्वा तिष्ठत्यहो जनः ।ममायमित्यपि ज्ञात्वा घटद्रष्टेव सर्वदा ॥ २३ ॥
In plain words
"I am the body" — that is what this deluded man decides, and there he stays. And alas, he stays there even after knowing "this is mine" — always, like the man looking at a pot.
Close to the Sanskrit
"I am the body" — having thought thus, this deluded person remains, alas!, even having known "this is mine," like the seer of a pot, always.
