केन तर्ह्युपाधिना परः पादात्मना अवतिष्ठत इत्याशङ्क्य परस्यैव लिङ्गोपाधिकं जीवात्मानं दर्शयति—

In plain words

"Then by what adjunct does the Supreme stand there as a quarter of itself?" — raising that doubt, he now shows the individual self: it is the Supreme and nothing else, wearing the subtle body as its limiting condition.

Close to the Sanskrit

"By what limiting adjunct, then, does the Supreme abide as the quarter-self?" — having raised this doubt, he shows the individual self, belonging to the Supreme alone, as conditioned by the subtle body.
