Verse 17

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ १७ ॥

In plain words

Two Padārthas stand apart from one another: Dṛg, the Seer, and Dṛśya, the seen. Dṛg alone is Brahman; everything seen, Dṛśya, is only Māyā — and this is the drumbeat that all of Vedānta sounds.

Close to the Sanskrit

Dṛg, the Seer, and Dṛśya, the seen, are two Padārthas, mutually distinct in nature. Dṛg is Brahman, Dṛśya is Māyā—thus the drumbeat of all Vedānta.
