In plain words
[Chapter Eight: How Māyā Comes to Be.] The Supreme Self — pure consciousness itself — looked at itself as a self. That became the one we call 'I.' And from that, the very root of all division was born.
Close to the Sanskrit
[Chapter 8: The Chapter on the Establishing of Māyā.] The Supreme Self, [which is] consciousness alone, indeed saw itself as a self; that became the one named 'I'; from that was the root of division.
