Verse 158

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ १५८ ॥

In plain words

Only what is dirty needs polishing — a mirror, and things like it. Brahman is pure the way space is pure, always, and there is nothing to clean.

Close to the Sanskrit

Of the soiled alone is polishing desired here, of a mirror and the like; of Brahman, ever-pure like space, there is no purificatory act at all.
