Bhashya
न च्छया-तद्वदिति विरोचनाभिप्रायः ।स्वचित्तगुणदोष-वशादेव हि शब्दार्थावधारणं तुल्येऽपि श्रवणे ख्यापितं 'दाम्यत दत्त दयध्वम्' इति दकारमात्रश्रवणाच्छ्रुत्यन्तरे ।निमित्तान्यपि तदनुगुणान्येव सहकारीणि भवन्ति ॥
In plain words
Virocana's intent was simply: 'The self is nothing other than this physical body.' For the comprehension of a teaching is shaped entirely by the virtues and flaws of one's own mind, even when the words heard by all are identical—just as it is illustrated in another text where the mere syllable 'da' was heard by different beings as 'control yourselves,' 'give,' and 'be compassionate.' External circumstances, too, always align themselves to suit that inner disposition.
Close to the Sanskrit
Virocana's view is: 'It is not like the shadow [in a way that perishes uselessly, but the body itself is the ultimate reality].' For the grasping of the meaning of words arises precisely in accordance with the virtues and faults of one's own mind, even when the hearing is identical—as made known by [the interpretation of] 'dāmyata, datta, dayadhvam' from the mere hearing of the syllable 'da' in another śruti. Auxiliary causes also become conforming to that.
