तत्रैव च समाख्यातः स्वयंज्योतिर्हि पूरुषः ।जडः परप्रकाश्योऽयं कथं स्याद्देहकः पुमान् ॥ ३७ ॥
In plain words
Right there the scriptures declare it plainly: the Self shines by its own light. So how could this body — inert, needing something else just to light it up — ever be mistaken for the real you?
Close to the Sanskrit
And there indeed the Person (Puruṣa) is declared to be self-luminous. How could this one — inert, to-be-illumined-by-another, [merely] a body — be [that true] Person?
