। ॥ २८७ ॥
In plain words
When we look, an object named a pot appears directly before us with the thought 'this is a pot.' But upon careful inquiry, that pot does not exist there at all; only clay exists, completely distinct from that fleeting form.
Close to the Sanskrit
Here, saying 'this is a pot', some object named 'pot' arises from direct perception of sight. When investigated, that does not exist there; clay exists, that being distinct from that state, she is.
